Ms. Marvel YA Novel

Ms. Marvel trips into a mystery that brings her from Jersey City to Lahore, Pakistan and back again, all on a chase for a magical artifact.

Kamala Khan is pretty much your average teenager. She’s worried about her grades and she loves hanging out with her best friend Bruno. (he’s just a friend, right?) She also happens to be Jersey City’s best Super Hero, Ms. Marvel.

When Ms. Marvel accidentally gains possession of an ancient treasure, she must keep the magical artifact from falling into the greedy hands of the Kingpin. From the posh world of collecting to the vibrant markets of Lahore, Kamala will stop at nothing to discover the truth, unwittingly putting those she loves in danger. A new adversary, also on the hunt for the treasure, makes Ms. Marvel grapple with her heritage and her beliefs.
