The Superhero's Test

By: Lucas Flint

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Every hero's journey starts with a punch!

Seventeen-year-old Kevin Jason starts his first day at his new school by unintentionally punching the local bully through the cafeteria wall. When Kevin's father, a legendary superhero, learns of this, he insists on training Kevin to master his new powers, though Kevin finds his father's training methods a lot less exciting than he thought they were going to be.

But Kevin's training takes on new urgency when the local bully's father—Master Chaos, one of the world's most dangerous supervillains—breaks out of prison and declares Kevin his new archenemy for harming his son. Now Kevin must complete his training as a superhero before Master Chaos arrives.

If Kevin doesn't complete his training in time, then all of the power in the world won't be able to keep him and his family safe from the madman who wants him dead.

Truly terrible

As a middle and high school English teacher, this project would have gotten a C for effort. There is much that could have been done to make this book truly a good book, however, the vacillating protagonist is unreliable, his actions aren't heroic, and the plot holes are large enough to drive the entire roster of Avengers, X-Men, and Justice League through. I listened to the second half only to leave this review. I will say the narration was decent.
