Time for the review of Lois Lane: Fall Out by Gwenda Bond, the first book from my March reading list. I was really excited at the thought of this book, I liked the idea of Lois Lane taking centre stage for a change, and as you all know I love YA fiction.
Lois Lane: Fall Out by Gwenda Bond – Book Review
Blurb from The Back Cover
From acclaimed author Gwenda Bond comes a contemporary reimagining of teenage Lois Lane.
She’s an army brat who’s moved more times than she can count with her father general Sam Lane. But now they’re in Metropolis for good, and Lois is determined to fly straight; stay quiet. Fit in. Maybe make a friend.
As soon as she walks into her new high school though, she can see it won’t be that easy. A group known as the Warheads is making life miserable for another girl at school. They’re messing with her mind, somehow, via the high tech immersive video game they all play. Not cool.
Armed with her wit and her snazzy new job as a reporter, Lois has her sights set on solving this mystery. But even she needs help sometimes. Thank goodness for her maybe more than a friend, a guy she knows only by his screen name, SmallvilleGuy…
My Thoughts on The Book
Lois Lane: Fall Out was a really good book. I loved going back to teenage Lois and seeing her in the centre role. She is smart, feisty and not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
The book combines technology, mind control and a strong female lead. What’s not to love?
And for the Superman fans out there, it was nice to have mention of the teenage Superman, helping Lois save the day, even if she does only know him as a screen name and has never actually met him.
Fast paced and interesting, the characters are well written and I think Lois is a character most teenage girls will be able to identify with.
Conclusion and Rating
Even if you’re not a huge Superman fan, I think you will enjoy this book. It’s definitely one I would recommend. 5/5
Lois Lane: Fall Out by Gwenda Bond is available now from Amazon priced at £6.99 for the paperback.

I was sent this book in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. As a reader myself, I could never recommend a book I didn’t truly enjoy.
