Look, up in the sky!

The big city is full of Superman sightings, but here in Metropolis Grove? Every kid in this suburb knows that he's not real...except newcomer Sonia Patel. She'd hoped that having a full summer in her new house would let her make some friends before school started, and it's working! 
 
But if new pals Duncan and Alex don't believe in a superhero she's seen with her very own two eyes, will the school year be everything Sonia's hoping for? Or will all her lonely fears be realized instead? Maybe she just needs to introduce her new friends to the super-strong, super-powered man who lives in the cave with all the super-memorabilia. 
 
Drew Brockington sends this trio into a school year full of drama and adventure...and more than a few opportunities for a newfound friendship to test its limits. 
Drew Brockington is the author and illustrator of the IndieBound bestselling graphic novel series CatStronauts and the picture book Hangry. He works at his drawing table while his dog, Leroy, snores next to him. He has a special love for comics and will never shy away from a pun. He lives with his family in Minneapolis.
