Hero

(2) YA More than he dreads coming out to his father, Thom fears revealing his superhuman healing powers. As Thom trains for hero duty he uncovers family secrets. Readers will appreciate the satire that provides moments of relief in an often dark narrative. Filled with inexorable villains and disillusioned heroes, the book spans isolation and romance for a larger-than-life coming of age.
