Bond, Gwenda. Lois Lane Triple Threat.

Bond, Gwenda. Lois Lane Triple Threat. Capstone/Switch Press      2017  357p  $16.95  Hardback  ISBN 978-1-63079-082-0  ms/hs  Fantasy  E-BN   

In this, the third book in the Lois Lane series, Lois has her hands full.  Happy at her new school, she has friends, an online romance, and, best of all, a new mystery to solve. She and her friends are still working for the Daily Scoop in Metropolis and are investigating the appearance of four teens who seem to have special powers. Unfortunately for Lois and her friends, the teens seem to be investigating her as well. Pulling together their vaunted research skills to ferret out the bad guys, they help the teens escape. Lois gets to meet her Smallville Guy (guess who he turns out to be) and save Metropolis at the same time.  

This is engaging, suspenseful, well-written fiction with excellent characterizations, a fast-paced plot, and snappy dialogue and banter, all of which make this a fun read for middle- and high-school readers. This reviewer  would have liked a little more background information about the first two books to set the scene. Highly recommended.

Summary: In this, the third book in the Lois Lane series, Lois has her hands full.  Happy at her new school, she has friends, an online romance, and, best of all, a new mystery to solve.
