Superhero Kid vs. Pandemic

Reach for this book when your teen is struggling with the emotional baggage of a first major crush or feeling overwhelmed by the social hierarchies of high school. It uses the visual language of video games and graphic novels to explore how we often view our past mistakes as literal bosses to be defeated. While the plot follows Scott as he battles his girlfriend's seven evil exes, the real story is about taking responsibility for one's own actions and learning that you cannot win at life by being a passive participant. It is a stylistically inventive look at the chaotic transition from being a teenager to a young adult, perfect for teens who feel like they are still trying to find their own rhythm in a world full of noise.
