This is a great book.
Stella Stargirl is a super heroine, and a popular one at that. She is a celebrity, and the treated like a movie star. Her book is coming out, she has her own range of toys, she is super rich.
But her whole life is a lie. All the villains she defeated were acting. The group she works for is actually a terrorist group, aligned with the government, that has been secretly locking people up, and the some of the villains she fought were actually good people. Not only that, our hero...more

True Hero? is a unique story about super heroes. Yes, they are just like those classic comic book heroes, but they have different names and some have unusual powers. There is Bruce the Barbarian, who has the power of super strength. Other heroes have powers like super speed, flight, the ability to knock someone out by touching them, and the ability to turn their body into water. Jack Hessey has an awesome imagination!

-I got this book for free from Goodreads First Reads-
This was a juvenile book full of terrible twists, no foreshadowing whatsoever, and clunky character development. I hope the atrocious grammar and spelling mistakes have been fixed when this got published for real.. I can't believe you can call yourself a writer when you have such limited vocabulary and make the most elementary grammar mistakes. But I guess that's forgivable. The plot is not, though. Not much is connected together and the centr...more

I enjoyed True Hero? It's a fun, fast-paced novel with a great cast of interesting heroes and some fun supervillain's to oppose them. The storyline is interesting, although similar stories have been done before in comics it still managed to feel fresh and entertaining. Highly recommended.
Great YA superhero book. Very action-packed. [Ages middle-school thru adult.]
Received through First Reads as a copy for review, will post shortly.
