This is a cute short novella within the Bigtime hero series. It takes place after Jinx but can be read as a stand-alone. I must say though I enjoyed it more after reading the series since I was already acquainted with the superhero/ubervillan people.Karma girl takes center stage in this book. It's her job to protect the presents from any ubervillan looking to make a name for themselves as the most evil of all. I mean stealing from underprivileged kids is pretty evil. Hijinks ensue, ubervillians expound on their evil plan, and situations arise for our heroine. Does she get out? Does she win the day... er... night? Well, it is a feel good Christmas story, so of course! No surprise there (and no evil laugh... don't faint) but it is just another fun ride within this campy group of stories. I give this book 5 stars. It delivers within a short story exactly what it promises.... fun. Karma Girl is one of the Fearless Five superheroes in Bigtime, New York and is tasked on Christmas Eve with looking after presents that have been collected and to be handed out on Christmas Day to children who are in need. What should be a simple job turns out to be a bit tricky and needs the help of her comrades and other heroes to make sure the children are not left disappointed.I haven't read the rest of the Bigtime series but as I'm reading Christmas themed stories this month I thought I would give this novella ago. This is a quick easy read and it gave me an insight into what the superheroes can do and the ubervillains they have to come up against. I am intrigued to see where the Fearless Five began and will be reading the other books to find out more about each superhero and see how they develop and protect Bigtime, New York.
What do You think about A Karma Girl Christmas (2011)?
This was a cute short story involving Karma girl and two new ubervillians. Nice quick read.
