She can run without experiencing any pain. She can also break someone's arm is she chose to. Abra, she is the lady with the invisibility power. She can go where no one at all can go. Overhear conversations, change a lease for a neighbor and ride the train without paying. Margie is the lady with the power to heat things up, she can start a fire, melt the seat of a motorcycle. How did they get this power, they think because they are menopausal that somehow they were affected whereas the daughter whose science experiment it was was not affected. If this was truly a power that women over a certain age could obtain, how cool would it be? Well of course used only for good things and helping people. I really enjoyed this book, it was written with humor but also about female relationships. Looking for a fun read, then check this book out! (  ) celticlady53 | Oct 9, 2018 | In The Super Ladies by Susan Petrone, forty-seven-year-old best friends Margie, Katherine, and Abra are living conventional lives and dealing with personal issues mixed in with the beginning of menopausal changes. But when a science fair project unexpectedly goes wrong and explodes liquified tofu slime all over them, these ladies discover that they suddenly feel different ... a little off ... and have acquired unique internal superpowers! They have new abilities of indestructible strength, invisibility, and heat that can make a difference, so they decide to harness their powers and use them as crime-fighting superheroes in the Cleveland suburbs... Katherine as Indestructa, Abra as Shadow, and Margie as The Schvitz ... The Super Ladies! This was such a fun read that definitely peaked my interest. Who wouldn't love to have a superpower?! I really enjoyed following Katherine, Margie, and Abra as they discovered their superpower abilities and learned to use them for a greater good. As these ladies intertwined their personal lives and the changes that come with menopause, it was really cool to see them rediscover themselves and gain a new found role in their lives that gave them a new sense of self-confidence. The individual superhero activities that they embarked on made me smile, but when they went on the Super Ladies adventure, I couldn't help but laugh-out-loud at the situations that they got themselves into. I enjoyed their escapades so much that I wanted to read more ... maybe a sequel will be in the works? The Super Ladies is a wonderful women's fiction story that is amusing, uplifting, and empowering. This is the kind of story that makes menopause and the changes that come with it seem a little bit easier to embrace ... it makes you wish that you could have your very own internal superpower!

( ) JerseyGirlBookReview | Sep 13, 2018 | Abra and Katherine are not running from anything, just towards the finish line of the race. Margie…a husband and couple kids keeps her busy, as does her work. A school science project goes drastically wrong and changes their lives forever. Abra had always felt invisible, now… Margie changes the meaning of hot flash… Katherine has strength, power, and doesn’t feel pain. Go ahead. Try and hurt her. I DARE you. Now, what will they do with their superpowers? I mean playing games, like when Abra was practicing her invisibility….I saw her in my mind and busted out laughing, was not enough for them. They wanted to do good. And an incident in Chapter 13…grinning ear to ear. I enjoyed this lighthearted, fun and easy reading super hero story, with quirky ladies that had me laughing to the end. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Super Ladies by Susan Petrone.

For three middle-aged women in the suburbs of Cleveland, the issues seemed compelling but relatively conventional: sending a child off to college, dealing with a marriage gone stale, feeling "invisible." But changes were coming . . . and not the predictable ones. Because Margie, Katherine, and Abra are feeling a new kind of power inside of them - literally. Of all the things they thought they might have to contend with as they got older, not one of them considered they'd be exploding a few gender roles by becoming superheroes.At once a delightful and surprising adventure and a thoughtful examination of a woman's changing role through life's passages, THE SUPER LADIES is larger-than-life fiction at its very best. PRAISE FOR SUSAN PETRONE'S THROW LIKE A WOMAN: "While, on the surface, this is a novel about a woman battling to make her way in the man's world of professional baseball, debut author Petrone presents a stirring and humorous story of a woman doing considerably more than that--trying to rediscover herself, provide for her family, and perhaps find a little love along the way." - Booklist "Throw Like a Woman is that rare baseball novel, both a paean to the game and a deeper exploration of character. Susan Petrone has a fan's heart and a scout's eye. Read it now. Don't wait for the movie." - Stewart O'Nan, co-author of Faithful and A Face in the Crowd "For baseball fans who yearn for a female Jackie Robinson, reading Susan Petrone's fun and absorbing novel Throw Like a Woman becomes a kind of prayer. 'Please, Lord Give talent a chance. Let this dream come true '" - Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow "Someday there will be a woman who plays Major League Baseball. And when it happens, I suspect it will be an awful lot like Susan Petrone's fun Throw Like a Woman. Susan knows baseball and so the novel - and her hero Brenda Haversham - crackles with authenticity. You can hear the pop of the ball hitting the catcher's mitt." - Joe Posnanski, author of The Soul of Baseball, NBC Sports National Columnist "Petrone's storytelling is first-rate, and she weaves a credible baseball tale with well-defined characters throughout." - The Wave No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
