Miranda’s an average kid trying to make it through the school day—but is she also the SUPERHERO known as THE MIGHTY?! Get ready for mega-sized adventure and fun!

Welcome to Willow City—home to the one and only Miranda Luna!

Miranda loves her life in Willow City exactly as it is. But lately everything seems to be changing. Crime is up in the city. Bullying is up at school. Even Miranda’s family is acting weird. It feels like everything is out of her control...even her own body! (What’s with all this hair? And where did this super-strength come from?!) The world needs someone to fix things. There’s a local legend about a giant, furry, mythical creature who has always kept Willow City safe in times of need. But that doesn’t have anything to do with Miranda...right?
