Max is a pretty typical teenager, well, except for the supervillain bit. His mother is the typical “professor in the throes of invention” when she works on her doomsday device in the basement, and a great fighter when facing the superheroes who are trying to stop them from activating the bomb. Max also has a lot to worry about - he has to keep his identity secret if he wants a college education since colleges don’t like supervillains among their attendees. And then there is Crush, a boy his age who happens to be a superhero and his constant adversary, except in school, where they are both just boys.
Max’s struggle to make sense of the world has happened – he knows that the city council is corrupt and why he and his mother are fighting them. What is less clear to Max is why Crush annoys him above and beyond being his archenemy, and how to make him see the error of his ways. This story tells the tale of the two boys growing up a little as they begin to make their own decisions and devise their own rules. Aside from being great fun and very tongue-in-cheek, this adventure has a beautiful message about the importance of not believing everything you are told, and about the need to figure out your own values.
If you like superheroes and want to see what happens when they have to deal with today’s reality, if the perspective of a teenager on world events sounds interesting, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read with a thought-provoking message, then you will probably like this novella.
