The G-Man Super Journal: Awesome Origins by Chris Giarrusso


In English class Michael G. aka G-Man was assigned to start a journal and he could write about anything that he likes, so he writes about his life.  Well Michael does not go to just any school he goes to a school where super heroes are in the making go and discover their talents.  As for Michael he has no super powers and no special talents as of yet but several of his classmates are beginning to discover theirs.  The math and science teacher Mr. Leary says that superheroes  got lucky and they should not be idolized because they did not earn it.  He constantly points to his framed diploma on the wall telling students that’s what they need to succeed in life.  In his journal Michael likes to write about his favorite superhero Captain Thunderman because he is strong, invulnerable, he can fly and he carries a lightning bolt that shoots out thunderblasts.   During the school year Michael watches as his classmates powers develop from color changing, to having super speed and to flying.  Some of them have super talents naturally while others have some help with magic props and Michael is trying to figure just what his are.  The G-Man Super Journal is a hilarious look at the awkward stage of when kids are trying to find themselves and are looking to make friends while they have an annoying brother constantly teasing them.   It is an excellent book for those students who do not like to read.  I would highly recommend this book.
