A name for my cartoon It's a cartoon that I am currently writing a book for and I 'm also illistrating that book and drawing like a cartoon that looks really good but I can't think of a name. It's about three 12 year old 7th graders who are Super Heros. I 'm targeting this cartoon and book at tweens and teens so it's not for like little kids at all. It features a black girl named Alexis, a black girl named Kasiya, and a 2/3 mexican girl named Carmelita who basicly have super powers that their parents for some reason don't know about but their siblings do.
