(3) 4-6 Zach is devastated to learn that his father, an advisor to the president, has been killed in a plane crash. Holding out hope that Dad isn't really dead, Zach visits the crash site. He runs into a mysterious old man--and finds out about his own superpowers. Lupica has crafted a tight, suspenseful superhero adventure; a sequel seems likely.
