Last year I blogged about a movie about a 12-year old boy with MS who turns into an adult superhero, Superior.
Well, the book is out. I ripped off the plastic cover this morning and after a quick glance, I'm mildly hopeful.
I plan to read it over the weekend and report back
Anyone out there read it yet?

Hmm, I'm already a fan and a "friend." What else..."I chose 614 because that's Hild's birth year. But my birthday is 30th Sept.--which makes me a Libra.
The biggest, best thing you can do do is review one of my books, I think. But I'm so new to all this I'm honestly not sure. Thanks for friending and liking.
