(3) K-3 Max, the young son of superheroes Captain Lightning and Madam Thunderbolt, seems unable to fly. The desire to rescue a falling baby bird triggers Max's latent flying ability, which he practices regularly thereafter. Witty blends of ordinary and fantastic details (changing a diaper in the family's lightning-bolt shaped house) and a warm tone in both the text and the illustrations contribute to the book's appeal.
