Description

David is sixteen. A pretty ordinary boy, in most ways – he just wants to hang out in his bedroom, reading his dad s old comics. Comics that are full of his heroes – those figures whose lives are charmed, special, unique.

Life hasn t been easy recently for David, though. His father died just a couple of years ago, he has a fractious relationship with his mum, and he has fallen out with his best friend. But, David has a secret, which he hasn t told anyone. He has superpowers. He can soar through the air, he has superhearing, he feels and hears everything super-keenly. So life should be easier, then, shouldn t it? But somehow it s not – and when David gets involved with the girl next door, gorgeous Holly Harper, he begins to realise just how very complicated it can get.

David s harbouring another secret, a deeper darker one, and on this journey from boyhood to manhood, will he have the courage to face up to it?
