KENNY WRIGHT: SUPERHERO is James Patterson’s newest illustrated novel for young readers. Featuring more than 150 pieces of line art and comic-style sequences, Patterson’s book is a genuinely funny yet poignant look at middle school in a challenging urban setting, where a child’s life can depend on the everyday decisions he makes.
Kenny Wright is a sixth grade with a secret identity. He attends a tough inner city school, struggling with bullies, schoolwork and keeping his detentions secret from his ‘G-ma’. In his mind, he’s a world-famous superhero, Stainlezz Steel, who fights crime, saves lives and rescues helpless animals. In reality, he’s a chess club devotee knows as a ‘Grandma’s Boy’, a label that makes him an easy target for bullies. Kenny wants to bring a little more Steel to the real world, but the question is: can he recognise his own true strength before peer pressure forces him to make the worst choice of his life?
Kenny’s neighbourhood need him – can he step up in his real life and help his ‘G-ma’ save the best School Principal he’s ever had?
