"There are always going to be certain things but what we need are people we can be certain of... I guess that's another way of saying friends."
This book was a good continuation to Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. It isn't plot heavy, instead consisting of a number of short stories where Moon Girl teams up with various heroes from across the Marvel universe, specifically The Hulk, The Thing, Ironheart, Doctor Strange, and some X-Men (Storm, Nightcrawler, Forge, Wolverine, and Collusus). These stories are connected by an overarching plot involving Doctor Doom but more so by the theme of this story that it's okay to ask for help and to need help.
I felt this book had a bit of a weak start but once it got to the second half it was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed Moon Girl's interactions with Doctor Strange and the x-Men. The main plot involving Doctor Doom is also a bit weak but that's because it's not important. The Smartest There Is is not about it's antagonist but about the themes. It focuses on a message that's important for kids and does so with some great humour especially in the latter half.
Overall I'd recommend this for those who enjoyed the previous instalments in the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur series and especially for younger readers.
"I used to be all alone. I never could admit that was hard. Nowadays I'm thinking I was wrong back then. Being alone was easier. At least for me But I know deep down easier doesn't mean better..."
