Narration Supposing Books Hero

The last thing in the world Thom Creed wants is to add to his father's pain, so he keeps secrets. Like that he has special powers. And that he's been asked to join the League - the very organization of superheroes that spurned his dad. But the most painful secret of all is one Thom can barely face himself: he's gay.

But becoming a member of the League opens up a new world to Thom. There, he connects with a misfit group of aspiring heroes, including Scarlett, who can control fire but not her anger; Typhoid Larry, who can make anyone sick with his touch; and Ruth, a wise old broad who can see the future. Like Thom, these heroes have things to hide; but they will have to learn to trust one another when they uncover a deadly conspiracy within the League.

To survive, Thom will face challenges he never imagined. To find happiness, he'll have to come to terms with his father's past and discover the kind of hero he really wants to be.

Criticism Epithetical Books Hero

The content of this novela gay teen fledgling superherowas what drew me to it. It does struggle in the styling and the pacing, but overall it was fun, gritty at times, emotional and introspective.I really enjoyed Hero. It's a bit cliched in parts and clearly rips off very famous superheroes, but it does so in a fun, campy way. It has a lot of closeted, gay teen angst but that's the purpose of the story so it's not overbearing. One thing I really enjoyed was how real and gritty it was, especially

This story was really well done. It revolves around the MC Thom Creed, who's parents are famous super heroes. Thom hopes to one day follow in their footsteps but there is one thing that hinders him, the fact that he is hiding a very big secret. This book had action, humor and sadness. I definately recommend it

This is a great YA book with a gay hero. In more than one sense of the word, the main character, Thom, has to grow up in this story.There are secrets that need solving on a personal level (his powers and how to deal with his sexual orientation), with his family (both his mother and his father have something to hide, it seems), and society at large (what exactly DID happen at the Wilson Towers all those years ago?). I liked the pacing and the tone of voice, which were both appropriate to how a

Wow! I couldn't put this one down. I was impressed by the author's ability to effortlessly weave the themes of coming of age and identity into an action-packed super hero adventure. The main character, Thom, is sweet and endearing, and the journey he takes to becoming a hero is funny, heartbreaking, and poignant. The "twists" were a bit predictable, but I didn't really mind - I was on the outside, waiting with glee for Thom to figure it all out while I cheered him on.

This is a great book. It made me smile and maybe even shed a tear or two. It's a young adult story that on a takes on a lot of issues. Some directly, some using superheroes and villains to represent others. It was full of great characters and I think it has a strong message for teens.Thom is a teenager who's dad is a disgraced superhero. Thom is gay and now he's coming in to his powers. He has a lot on his plate and has a lot of difficult things to decide. He doesn't always do the right thing at

a gay teenage superhero trying to come to terms with his sexuality, super powers, and troubles with his parents (or lack thereof)...i loved this book. the only reason i didn't give it five stars is because i felt in a couple of areas it was a little too wordy, but other than that, it was fantastic. i'm jealous.

Ok, here's why this book is good: There's some good layering going on here. The foundation is this high school kid, Thom, coming to terms with his sexuality. So that's interesting on it's own, but then Moore adds a world of superheroes. Superheroes in this world don't always have special powers and being a superhero is a career(complete with a salary). Then there's Thom's home life with his single dad. Thom's parents are former superheros and his mom abandoned them a few years back. I really
