Download or read book Gus the Mighty written by Rick Sand and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gus is a thirteen-year-old superhero - Earth's one and only, which is pretty cool most of the time. Gus's greatest nemesis is ordinary life. Crime-fighting cuts into his video game time. Obsessed classmate, Larry 'the Schemer,' won't stop trying to destroy him with ridiculous science projects. And his arch-nemesis, Mrs. Johnston, loves handing out a never-ending supply of detention slips for tardiness (even if the reason he's late is because he was saving someone's life). No challenge is greater, however, than finding the courage to ask his best friend, Molly, on a date to their first school dance. To make matters worse, Earth's first super-villain strikes. It will take more than mighty superpowers to overcome this brutish menace and save the town from total annihilation. Gus learns important lessons about life, loss, and his own limitations, which is an awful lot to learn about for a kid who doesn't like school.

Download or read book Third Class Superhero written by Charles Yu and published by HMH. This book was released on 2006-09-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A compulsively readable collection” of short fiction from the author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe (Publishers Weekly). With deadpan humor and originality, Charles Yu spins Kafkaesque tales of modern identity and insecurity in this whip-smart debut. In 401(k), a couple living in the Luxury Car Commercial subdivision are disappointed when their exotic vacation turns into a Life Insurance/Asset Management pitch. The author struggles to write the definitive biography of his mother in Autobiographical Raw Material Unsuitable for the Mining of Fiction. And would-be superhero Moisture Man must come to terms with the darkness in his heart. Throughout the collection, Yu’s characters run up against the limitations of their artificial story lines while tackling the terrifying aspects of existence: mothers, jobs, spouses, and perhaps most terrifying of all, the need to express feelings. Heartbreaking and hilarious, Third Class Superhero marked the debut of an author who has been a PEN award finalist, and whose novel How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe was named one of Time’s best books of the year. “The post-collegiate braininess of many of Yu’s stories is like the music of the Talking Heads, making the familiar seem off-kilter. . . . Takes a Kafkaesque turn in its comic examination of the essence of identity.” —Kirkus Reviews
