Portico Reeves lives in the biggest house on the block, maybe even the city, which his mom calls an apartment building but he calls a castle. As Portico, he navigates tense interactions with the local bully, the stress of his parents’ fights, and his own anxiety, or “frets.” What no one knows is that he’s also . . . Stuntboy! As Stuntboy, he protects his family and best friends, and he’s the reason the family cat has nine lives. His superpower is making sure all the other superheroes stay super, and super safe. Enjoy reading this action-packed graphic novel, told in short episodes with amusing commercial breaks, as you get to know a fourth-grade superhero.
