About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is navigating the pressure of high expectations or struggling to define their own moral compass against peer influence. While Oliver Queen is a billionaire with natural talent, this story focuses on his younger years as he realizes that being 'the best' is meaningless if you do not use your skills to help those who cannot help themselves. It is a perfect choice for children who are beginning to notice social inequities and want to see a hero who chooses justice over popularity. The graphic novel format makes these heavy themes of accountability and civic duty accessible and engaging. It provides a roadmap for how a young person can transition from self-centeredness to community-minded leadership, all while maintaining the excitement of a superhero origin story.
