Public School Superhero

About this book

From the world's #1 bestselling author: Inner city middle school student Kenny Wright imagines himself as a superhero--but when he faces peer pressure and bullying, can he find his strength in real life? Kenny Wright is a kid with a secret identity. In his mind, he's Stainlezz Steel, super-powered defender of the weak. In reality, he's a chess club devotee known as a "Grandma's Boy," a label that makes him an easy target for bullies. Kenny wants to bring a little more Steel to the real world, but the question is: can he recognize the real strength and goodness inside himself? Or will peer pressure force him to make the worst choice of his life? Interspersed with fantastic illustrations and comic book panels, this book aims to both entertain and to provoke dialogue about identity, belonging, and doing the right thing.
