Okay, I have to admit it. I really liked this book. Maybe it's because of all the Kim Possible episodes I've watched with my young son and movies like Bolt and The Impossibles. The Hero Revealed is book 1 in The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy. The story starts by giving background information about the city of Superopolis and its inhabitants...all of them with special powers except for Ordinary Boy, the one who is telling the story. I found myself chuckling throughout the story. Drawings are included to enhance the story line
Ordinary Boy (OB) and his friends make up the Junior Leaguers. They are out to defeat Professor Brain-Drain.
The Return of Meteor Boy? is book 2. It takes place the week after book 1. We finally find out who Meteor Boy really is, and along the way, we meet a new set of villains. This book includes time travel. The Junior Leaguers and OB's dad's team are back again as well.
