Bookroo's summary

Janey, a shadow-dweller at Deerwood Park Middle School, is drawn to the enigmatic Captain Superlative, a superhero in a quirky costume. As Janey steps into the light, she forms an unlikely bond with this fearless hero, even challenging the school bully. But beneath the mask lies a secret that forces Janey to confront her own hidden truths. Can she uncover what it truly means to be a hero and a friend? Dive into a tale of courage, mystery, and the power of unexpected alliances.

From the publisher

Debut author J.S. Puller delivers an inspirational story full of heart, humor, and breathtaking revelations. “Have no fear, citizens! Captain Superlative is here to make all troubles disappear!” Red mask, blue wig, silver swimsuit, rubber gloves, torn tights, high top sneakers and . . . a cape? Who would run through the halls of Deerwood Park Middle School dressed like this? And why? Janey–quick to stay in the shadows–can’t resist the urge to uncover the truth behind the mask. The answer pulls invisible Janey into the spotlight and leads her to an unexpected friendship with a superhero like no other. Fearless even in the face of school bully extraordinaire, Dagmar Hagen, no good deed is too small for the incomparable Captain Superlative and her new sidekick, Janey. But superheroes hold secrets and Captain Superlative is no exception. When Janey unearths what’s truly at stake, she’s forced to face her own dark secrets and discover what it truly means to be a hero . . . and a friend.
