About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the discomfort of physical growth, feeling invisible in social circles, or wrestling with a sense of being different from their peers. This graphic novel follows Gar Logan, a high schooler who feels like he will never stand out until a sudden physical transformation changes everything. While it uses the superhero genre as a framework, the core of the story is about the messy, awkward reality of puberty and the search for authentic identity. Parents will appreciate how it validates the desire to be noticed while exploring the responsibility that comes with new talents. It is a highly accessible, visually engaging choice for ages 12 and up, particularly for reluctant readers who need a story that mirrors their own internal transitions.
