The book is Who Is AC?, a graphic novel by Hope Larson and Tintin Pantoja. It's from 2013, and I missed it at the time. Larson is someone whose work I've vaguely followed, even though she's mostly done books for younger readers - though I do have to admit "followed" sometimes means (as it did, just recently) "Hey, hasn't it been several years since I read a Hope Larson book? What did I miss?" (There's also the finale of the trilogy that started with All Summer Long, and I think an even newer project than that.)
But, for today, I went as far back as I missed, since the fine library in Kearney, New Jersey could accommodate me, and grabbed this one. It's a superhero story for teens - maybe tweens, actually - and the superhero is a tech-powered young woman (I say that because I'm not sure how old she is, but I'm going to guess about twelve, so I reserve the right to adjust "young woman" to something more appropriate if necessary)
Here Larson is writing, with art by a creator I'm not familiar with - Tintin Pantoja - though it looks like she did a book for Wiley when I worked there, so I could have noticed her work if I paid attention. Anyway, I'm about to read the thing - probably today - so let me do that and see what I've got here. I'll report back.
