Shadow of the Batgirl (2026 Edition)

About this book

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.
