Why read it?
1 author picked Caped as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Theo never wanted to be a superhero, so when he suddenly develops superpowers all he’d prefer to do is go back to life as normal.
But he’s already got a super nemesis that’s out to kill him.
If Theo doesn’t learn how to use his powers and become the superhero he needs to be, he could lose everything and everyone that’s important to him.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the rest of the series.
From Taylor's list on The best superhero books to read if you want to learn how to save the day from the villain.
