Publisher Description
In the story comic book legend Stan Lee calls "spellbinding" and "totally original," Thom Creed has secrets. For one, like his father, he has super powers. Also, he's been asked to join the League—the very organization of superheroes that spurned his dad. Then theres the secret Thom can barely face himself: he's gay.
But becoming a member of the League opens up a new world to Thom. There, he connects with a misfit group of aspiring heroes, including Scarlett, who can control fire but not her anger; Typhoid Larry, who can make anyone sick with his touch; and Ruth, a wise old broad who can see the future. Like Thom, these heroes have things to hide; but they will have to learn to trust one another when they uncover a deadly conspiracy within the League.
To survive, Thom will face challenges he never imagined. To find happiness, he'll have to come to terms with his father's past, and discover the kind of hero he really wants to be.
Timely and inspiring, Hero tackles love, friendship, and the struggle to come to terms with who we really are in a sincere and suspenseful way.
This audiobook includes an exclusive introduction written and read by Stan Lee himself.

Great book
Great book A+ no need to explain just read it :-p
Please read!
I’ve loved this book for over a decade & I finally listened to the audiobook and it’s amazing. The reader does a fantastic job at bringing to (audio) life the words the author wrote.
This book just make you feel good.
This book is one of those rare books that only come along once in a long while, in the since that it makes you feel good inside. Yes i know corny but it is true. As a 24 year old gay guy I will say I picked got the book because the main character is gay, but that is not at all what this book is about, it is about being different and learning to live with, and accept that in yourself and in others. This book is a great book for any teen or young person. It is all about seeing the good in others, and learning who to see that good even when it is not always apparent at first.
The main character Thom finds it hard to be part of a team, and has to learn how to work in one, as well as not always seeing that learning that there are consequences to your actions, and learning the your actions and the things that happen to you shape the way a person become.
I only wish this book was around when i was 15 or 16. It could have help me out.
In fact i have started to give it to my friends as gifts this christmas.
BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR ANYONE, AND YOU SHOULD GET IT!!!!!!!!
