Superheroes

"Superheroes" is the third book in the Amelia McBride series, a graphic novel that thoughtfully explores the complexities of childhood. Amelia is dealing with the aftermath of her parents' divorce, a recent move from Manhattan to a small town, and the challenges of being the new kid. On top of this, her beloved Aunt Tanner is preparing to move, and a new friend, Trish, harbors a significant secret. The book balances these poignant themes with lighthearted humor, primarily through Amelia's "Gathering of Awesome Super Pals" (G.A.S.P.) who embrace their inner superheroes to face life's "evil" forces, like the "Legion of Steves." It's a relatable story about finding your footing, the power of friendship, and navigating big emotions during times of change. Ideal for ages 4-11, it offers a gentle yet honest portrayal of family transitions and social dynamics.

Amelia McBride faces more changes as her Aunt Tanner prepares to move away, new friend Trish hides a terrible secret, and super-hero-wannabe Reggie vows to destroy the evil Legion of Steves.
