Newton has lived in the shadow of his talented older brother for years, but now his brother is in trouble and it's up to Newton to take care of himself and his family. With the help of a hastily thrown-together superhero costume, Newton finds courage he never knew he had. This book is a real page-turner, and you'll be rooting for Newton right up to the end of this underdog story!
