The Oh So Ordinary Introduction Post

Welcome to Imagination Is! In this blog you will find my reviews written for young adult and juvenile fiction.

A little about myself:

My name is Heather and I'm a secondary education major with my eyes and heart set on becoming a youth librarian. I'm currently a college senior, nearing graduation with an accelerated velocity. When I find free time, and I am very good at finding free time, I read fiction. I get particular pleasure out of historical, paranormal, fantasty and dystopian tales, and, of course, the good recommendation.

Hero by Perry Moore

Hero by Perry Moore

The last thing in the world Thom Creed wants is to add to his father's pain, so he keeps secrets. Like that he has special powers. And that he's been asked to join the League, the very organization of superheroes that spurned his dad. But the most painful secret of all is one Thom can barely face himself: he's gay.

But becoming a member of the League opens up a new world to Thom. There, he connects with a misfit group of aspiring heroes, including Scarlett, who can control fire but not her anger; Typhoid Larry, who can make anyone sick with his touch; and Ruth, a wise old broad who can see the future. Like Thom, these heroes have things to hide; but they will have to learn to trust one another when they uncover a deadly conspiracy within the League.

To survive, Thom will face challenges he never imagined. To find happiness, he'll have to come to terms with his father's past and discover the kind of hero he really wants to be.

This is one of those novels where you spend half the story wanting to snuggle and smack the main character. Luckily for Thom you spend most of it wanting to snuggle him and pushing him toward his crush and wishing them the best. This was another one of those books I bought one day and had it done by the next night and the fact that Disney was one of the publishers makes me laugh SO HARD.
