This lighthearted and playful tone permeates the novel, making for a nifty investigative mystery akin to Veronica Mars or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Bond plays with their knowledge though, effectively turning this eye-roll–worthy quirk into a knowing smile, similar to the one Supes gives to viewers at the end of many a comic book and film. The one big connection Bond makes is a playful one: Lois' online pal goes by the name "SmallvilleGuy," and few readers will not put the pieces together quickly regarding his true identity. Bond also resists the fan-service urge: there's no mention of Gotham, the Waynes, Lex Luthor, Central City, or any other landmark DC icon. Bond ( Girl on a Wire, 2014, etc.) provides her with plenty of interesting supporting characters to bounce off, establishing a world worthy of a series.
Lois is as fully rounded as she is in the comics, headstrong, smart, capable, and equipped with a solid moral compass. This first entry in a planned series gets plenty right. Of course, trouble always has a way of finding Lois Lane. She joins the Daily Scoop, a teen subsidiary of the Daily Planet, in an effort to make friends. Her Army general father is hoping to make their family's stay in Metropolis permanent, and Lois doesn't want to jeopardize that. Lois Lane is new in town, and she's doing her best to keep her head down and her nose clean. A teen reporter busts a cyberbullying ring at her new school in Metropolis.
