Description:
Stuntboy, In the Meantime follows middle-schooler Portico Reeves, whose superpower is making sure his parents and best friend, Zola, stay safe. He lives in the biggest apartment building on the block, a building with fifty doors, all of which would be swell except for the secret that Portico’s parents are about to divorce. All this stress gives Portico “the frets”, which his mom calls anxiety. Plus, like all superheroes, Portico has an arch-nemesis, Herbert, determined to prove that there is nothing super about Portico at all.
Stuntboy, In the Meantime is based on Jason Reynolds’ and Raúl the Third’s award-winning graphic novel of the same name.
