Danny (who now uses the name ‘Danny’ as a nickname for ‘Danielle’) has super strength, invulnerability, and the power of flight, as well as the appearance of a beautiful young woman. As a side effect, Danny’s body transforms into the body of a teen girl.
Before he dies, Dreadnought gives Danny his superpowers. Suddenly a superhero, Dreadnought, falls from the sky, casualty of an aerial battle. This small act helps Danny, who is a transgender girl but deeply closeted, feel sane. The story opens with Danny, who is fifteen and assigned-male-at-birth, sneaking into an alley to apply toenail polish. It has fun elements but suffers from characters who are under-developed. This story about a transgender teen superhero is a coming-out story wrapped in a cape. Genre: LGBTQIA, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adultĭreadnought is my catnip in concept and yet the book bugged me a little.
