Every Superhero Has a Story

This summer's theme at the Jefferson County Library is "Every Hero Has a Story".  Immediately you start to think of superheroes.  Here are some great chapter books featuring superheroes . . .

Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo
Rescuing a squirrel after an accident involving a vacuum cleaner, comic-reading cynic Flora Belle Buckman is astonished when the squirrel, Ulysses, demonstrates astonishing powers of strength and flight after being revived.

Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation by Matt Myklusch
Twelve-year-old Jack, freed from a dismal orphanage, makes his way to the elusive and impossible Imagine Nation, where a mentor saves him from dissection and trains him to use his superpower, despite the virus he carries that makes him a threat.
