Clark Kent loved football, but he learned freshman year that he was too strong and fast to play. His football buddies are still mad at him for leaving the team, but as Clark continues to get new, strange powers, he knows he made the right decision. When people in Smallville start to go missing, Clark decides it is time to use his powers to help others. Meet Superman as he is discovering his history and beginning his hero's journey. In the 1930's, Superman helped fight the Klu Klux Klan, and now his story is tackling the issues of immigrants and refugees. Matt De LA Pena is one of my favorite authors, and his writing is superb as he compares Superman's story to that of any immigrant or refugee. Should Superman be put in a detention camp because he did not have the correct paperwork? This action-packed and thought-provoking story is perfect for superhero fans! Highly recommended!
