Will appeal to kids who are in the process of inventing themselves

"The Last Superhero" is a young adults (age 10 and up) chapter book about Jas, a seventh grade struggling would-be artist, and Wren, a crusading, vivid character who ends up needing protection from bullies by Jas, a reaction that winds up costing him his comic project and possibly future admission to art school. Filled with fun, humor, fast dialogue and action, "The Last Superhero" is an entertaining values morality tale, very carefully disguised as daily life for seventh graders. "The Last Superhero" will appeal to kids who are in the process of inventing themselves, and will give them new choices and definitions for heroes and heroines.
