Hero by Perry Moore

This is not your typical coming-of-age novel and Thom Creed is not your typical hero. He is a human with superhuman powers and...he's gay. It’s an enchanting story about the complicated relationship between a father and son, how to navigate and survive family and circumstances, how to trust and believe in you, and ultimately how to accept yourself. Perry Moore captures all those issues while maintaining the lightness of a superhero fantasy. The plot has intrigue and suspense that will keep you reading late into the night to find out what Thom’s secrets are and who knows them. I would easily recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
