Twelve-year-old aspiring forest ranger Maggie Chowder wants to be just like her favorite comic superhero, the Exceptional Eagirl. Maggie is determined to make the most of her new circumstances when her dad loses his job and her family moves from a house to a small apartment. But then her best friend's dad becomes a coach for the Seattle Seahawks. LaTanya gets to move into a big house and get a puppy - and Maggie can't help feeling jealous. To make things worse, nitpicky, comic-book-hating Grandma Barrel comes to stay with Maggie's family. It may not always be easy to be strong like Eagirl, but with the elp of an unforgettable trip to Comic Con, Maggie realizes that home is about more than a house, and families and friendships don't have to change just because life does.
