Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pressure of high expectations or seems to be overcompensating for insecurities with an arrogant exterior. Kenan Kong, the Super-Man of China, is a refreshingly flawed protagonist who must learn that true power comes from internal discipline and emotional balance rather than just physical strength. As he navigates his role in the Justice League of China and investigates the mystery of his mother's death, the story explores themes of cultural identity, the weight of family legacy, and the humility required to be a true leader. It is an excellent choice for middle and high schoolers who enjoy high-octane action but need a story that validates the messy process of growing up and finding one's own path within a global context.
