The Backup Superhero

Book 1 of The Backup Superhero series

By Kayla Hicks

Becoming a superhero isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Let’s be realistic, people don’t have super- powers. But if you have enough determination to make it through training, you have a chance to be the modern-day superhero, stopping one criminal at a time…or doing everyone else’s job and getting none of the credit. After Tanser girl comes to terms with her non-celebrity level status in the superhero world, someone else from Level D decides it’s their moment to shine, shaking up the entire system, while leaving her to pick up the pieces.
