(1) YA When troubled, Heck draws superheroes to console himself. And when his mother goes into "hypertime," or periods of disorientation where she drops all responsibilities, Heck tries to alter that reality by becoming a doer of good deeds, a flesh-and-blood superhero. Desperate and homeless, Heck undergoes a memorable struggle to reconcile reality with his own need for optimism.
