Young Lois Lane Investigates A Teacher In This Prequel To Her YA Novel

Lois Lane heads from the pages of DC Comics to her very own Young Adult novel this May, but you can read a teaser of what's to come with this new short story from Gwenda Bond detailing the young Lois' first day at a new school — and she's already getting herself primed for a future career at the Daily Planet.

io9! Covers the prequel story!

With a hat tip to this great post from Tim Hanley, who says, among other nice things: "Lois hasn’t had much to do in comics as of late, so it’s very exciting that she’s about to star in her own YA novel.

A reminder: it's also at Wattpad, if you prefer reading there.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Book people are the best people. And I've been so tremendously lucky this year to work with some of the greatest of the best people....
