The story: Junior Lois Lane is the new girl in town. Again. Her policy of laying low doesn't work well for her when she notices another student getting bullied and steps in, only to discover that there are some very strange things going on here in Metropolis--like a group of bullies that is as coordinated as a school of fish, and a principal who doesn't care. Picked up by editor Perry White to cover the teen scene at school, Lois is soon on the hunt, aided by her mysterious online friend, SmallvilleGuy. Can they figure out who's brainwashing kids before they all turn into walking, talking zombies?
June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult PG; GLBT content G; adult themes (brainwashing and mind control; government conspiracies) PG-13; overall rating PG-13, best for 8th-up.
Liz's comments: Two thumbs up! Lois is a smart, daring heroine, her crush on Superman is already in play and she doesn't even know it, and there's just enough techo-thrill to this caper to make it especially interesting to today's teens. Check out the next two volumes, "Double Down" and "Triple Threat".
