Inside the story

Meet Max.

Max is certain he has superpowers. There’s just one tiny problem—they don’t seem to work.

He can’t quite fly. His super strength needs some practice. And seeing through walls? Well… perhaps that one needs work too.

But when someone really needs his help, Max discovers that being brave, thoughtful and kind can be the greatest superpower of all.
