This is a short story prequel to Gwenda Bond’s new YA book Lois Lane: Fallout. It introduces us to teen Lois Lane as a new student in a high school chemistry class. Now, here is the thing, I actually read the novel Lois Lane: Fallout first, and I’m glad I did, because Cloudy With a Chance of Destruction is so, so short and it has so little meat to it that if I had read the short story first I don’t think I would have picked up Fallout because I would have reckoned the novel to be just as weak as the short story.
I LOVED Lois Lane:Fallout. So I’m glad I read it first.
So if you read Cloudy first, and like me, you thought it was weaksauce, I suggest you still give Fallout a try because it is a really fun reimagining of Lois Lane.
