Well, not everyone does! But what if your parents insist you become a superhero whether you want to or not? When they sacrificed so much for you, how could you say no? And if courage doesn’t come naturally, what CAN you do?
Perhaps you can ask real-life superheroes like Shakespeare or Einstein for their advice. But what if they fail you, and all your attempts at heroism lead to frustration and annoyance for everyone around you? Is disappointment inevitable, or can one last good deed finally lift everything into flight?
Yevgenia Nayberg brings all her wit and bold creativity to this warmly funny take on family pressure, acts of kindness, and the ups and downs of becoming a real superhero.
