A Schneider Family Award Honor Book for Middle Grade

From NewberyMedal honoree and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes ahilarious, hopeful, and action-packed middle grade novel about the greatestyoung superhero you’ve never heard of, filled with illustrations byRaúl the Third!

Portico Reeves’s superpower is making sureall the other superheroes―like his parents and two best friends―staysuper. And safe. Super safe. And he does this all in secret. No one in hiscivilian life knows he’s actually...Stuntboy!

But his regularPortico identity is pretty cool, too. He lives in the biggest house on theblock, maybe in the whole city, which basically makes it a castle. His mom callswhere they live an apartment building. But a building with fifty doors just inthe hallways is definitely a castle. And behind those fifty doors live a bunchof different people who Stuntboy saves all the time. In fact, he’s theonly reason the cat, New Name Every Day, has nine lives.

All this isswell except for Portico’s other secret, his not-so-super secret. Hisparents are fighting all the time. They’re trying to hide it by repeatedlytelling Portico to go check on a neighbor “in the meantime.” ButPortico knows “meantime” means his parents are heading into the MeanTime which means they’re about to get into it, and well, Portico’ssuperhero responsibility is to save them, too―as soon as he figures outhow.

Only, all these secrets give Portico the worry wiggles, the frets,which his mom calls anxiety. Plus, like all superheroes, Portico has anarch-nemesis who is determined to prove that there is nothing super aboutPortico at all.
