A young assassin’s path toward heroism

Cassandra Cain’s question is not simply whether she can become Batgirl, but whether her past and her own doubts leave room for a different identity. With Jackie Fujikawa Yoneyama and Barbara Gordon as mentors, she sets out to learn about a hero who has been absent from Gotham for years. That search unfolds alongside the threat posed by her father and the possibility that Cassandra will need to define heroism for herself. This young adult graphic novel brings questions of belonging, self-belief, and chosen purpose into a superhero story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in superhero graphic novels
  • Readers drawn to coming-of-age stories about identity and self-belief
  • DC readers curious about Cassandra Cain and Batgirl

Book overview

Cassandra Cain, teenage assassin, isn't exactly Batgirl material...yet. Will she step out of the shadows and overcome her greatest obstacle--that voice inside her head telling her she can never be a hero?

Lucky for Cass, she won't have to defy her destiny alone. With the help of her new mentors, noodle shop owner Jackie Fujikawa Yoneyama and a librarian named Barbara Gordon, she'll attempt to answer this question the only way she knows how: learning everything she possibly can about her favorite hero. The only problem is that Batgirl hasn't been seen in Gotham for years...can Cass find Batgirl before her father destroys the world she has grown to love? Or will she have to take on a heroic mantle of her very own?

Sarah Kuhn, author of Heroine Complex and I Love You So Mochi, teams with edgy artist Nicole Goux to tell the harrowing story of a girl who overcomes the odds to find her unique identity, in a gripping DC original graphic novel for young adults.
