Captain Superlative by J.S. Puller 245 pp.
Middle school can be a tough time. Janey prefers to stay on the sidelines, hidden from the drama between the popular kids and those on the other end of that spectrum. Then someone arrives at school wearing a blue wig, silver swimsuit, red mask, torn tights, high tops, and a cape to turn the lives of Janey and everyone at the school upside down. Captain Superlative, as she calls herself, is on a mission to be nice to people and get them to be nice in return. Janey is intrigued and determined to find out more about this "superhero". Then she is picked to be the Captain's sidekick and learns what it truly means to be a friend. This moving story seems a perfect read for these uncertain times.
