WINNER OF THE 2023 AUDIE AWARD FOR MIDDLE GRADE!
NAMED A 2023 ALA NOTABLE CHILDRENβS RECORDING!
An Odyssey Childrenβs Award winner
A Schneider Family Award Honor Book for Middle Grade
From Newbery Medal honoree and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes a hilarious, hopeful, and action-packed middle grade novel about the greatest young superhero youβve never heard of, filled with illustrations by RaΓΊl the Third!
Portico Reevesβs superpower is making sure all the other superheroesβlike his parents and two best friendsβstay super. And safe. Super safe. And he does this all in secret. No one in his civilian life knows heβs actuallyβ¦Stuntboy!
But his regular Portico identity is pretty cool, too. He lives in the biggest house on the block, maybe in the whole city, which basically makes it a castle. His mom calls where they live an apartment building. But a building with fifty doors just in the hallways is definitely a castle. And behind those fifty doors live a bunch of different people who Stuntboy saves all the time. In fact, heβs the only reason the cat, New Name Every Day, has nine lives.
All this is swell except for Porticoβs other secret, his not-so-super secret. His parents are fighting all the time. Theyβre trying to hide it by repeatedly telling Portico to go check on a neighbor βin the meantime.β But Portico knows βmeantimeβ means his parents are heading into the Mean Time which means theyβre about to get into it, and well, Porticoβs superhero responsibility is to save them, tooβas soon as he figures out how.
Only, all these secrets give Portico the worry wiggles, the frets, which his mom calls anxiety. Plus, like all superheroes, Portico has an arch-nemesis who is determined to prove that there is nothing super about Portico at all.
