    Banas, Danielle

    Abstract

    As witty as it is heart-pounding, this fresh take on the beloved superhero genre is all about finding your own way to shine even when it seems everyone else around you is, well... super. Never trust a guy in spandex.

Abby's older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind.
