Hero

Hero is a book by Perry Moore. It's an interesting write about a young man who discovers he has powers. Young Thom Creed is scorned because of his father's disgrace (more on that later). He holds a secret which can never come out... he likes guys. Thom Creed is homosexual. His father can never find out because of his apparent hate for homosexuals. Thom finds himself in a group of superheros-in-training against his father's wishes. Within the League Thom discovers a sinister plot that could very well destroy his planet. It's now up to Thom and his friends Scarlett (who can control fire), Typhoid Larry (who can make anyone sick), Golden Boy ( super speed) and Ruth (who can see the future) to save the world.

Thom's father used to be Major Might who allegedly was responsible for the death of hundreds. He was then kicked out of the League.

The book itself is very well written. The words and snarky remarks just roll right off the tongue. A great read for anyone.

Score= 9.2 out of 10
