This is the kind of book that makes me want to stay home from work and spend the day turning pages. But go to work I did on Friday, and I had to wait until Saturday to finish the story of Thom Creed, a teenager who has more than his share of problems. His father was a highly respected super hero back in the day, but "somehow" became disgraced and now struggles to make ends meet for him and his son, who have been alone since mom disappeared. Thom feels that he not only has to hide his true sexuality from his father, but also his budding super-powers because of his father's resentment towards the super hero community that shuns him. But when Thom gets an invite to try out for the League, he can't resist the chance to learn how to use his powers for good and become a hero. He hopes.

I LOVED this book, but only gave it four stars because the heroes were so obviously based on big name stars we know and love that it became a bit distracting for me and took me out of the book's spell now and then. But I would not hesitate to recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good super-hero adventure with lots of heart.
