What's Black About

Publisher Summary

Jack hatches a plan to land himself in the newspaper: he’s going to rescue the chairman’s prize-winning hen. Of course, that means he has to “borrow” it first. And if getting into the newspaper happens to impress the new girl in town? All the better. But when the “borrowing” goes awry, things suddenly get…tricky. To resolve the situation, Jack’s going to need some superhero help. Enter Black, to the rescue–along with his faithful companions Brown and Blue, always ready for action, even if they might not understand exactly what is going on. The second book in Håkon Øvreås’ award-winning My Alter Ego Is A Superhero trilogy, Black is illustrated with humor and heart by Øyvind Torseter.
