About This Book
In this engaging graphic novel, 12-year-old Kyle Camden, whose superhero alter ego "the Azure Avenger" (or "Blue Freak") has been unfairly deemed a villain, embarks on an ambitious quest. Convinced that the town's beloved hero, Mighty Mike, is an alien, Kyle builds a time machine to gather proof. However, his temporal adventure leads him to uncover surprising revelations that force him to re-evaluate his preconceived notions about good, evil, and identity. This story is perfect for children aged 8-11, offering a blend of science fiction, superhero action, and thoughtful exploration of judgment and truth.
Twelve-year-old Kyle Camden is annoyed because his superpower identity, the Azure Avenger (often called the Blue Freak) has been labeled as a villain by the town of Bouring--but when he builds a time machine, so that he can go back and prove that the hero Mighty Mike is an alien, he founds out that all of his assumptions are wrong.
