A Schneider Family Award Honor Book for Middle Grade From Newbery Medal honoree and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes a hilarious, hopeful, and action-packed middle grade novel about the greatest young superhero you\'ve never heard of, filled with illustrations by Raúl the Third! Portico Reeves\'s superpower is making sure all the other superheroes--like his parents and two best friends--stay super.
Plus, like all superheroes, Portico has an arch-nemesis who is determined to prove that there is nothing super about Portico at all..
Only, all these secrets give Portico the worry wiggles, the frets, which his mom calls anxiety.
But Portico knows Meantime means his parents are heading into the Mean Time which means they\'re about to get into it, and well, Portico\'s superhero responsibility is to save them, too--as soon as he figures out how.
They\'re trying to hide it by repeatedly telling Portico to go check on a neighbor in the meantime.
His parents are fighting all the time.
All this is swell except for Portico\'s other secret, his not-so-super secret.
In fact, he\'s the only reason the cat, New Name Every Day, has nine lives.
And behind those fifty doors live a bunch of different people who Stuntboy saves all the time.
But a building with fifty doors just in the hallways is definitely a castle.
His mom calls where they live an apartment building.
He lives in the biggest house on the block, maybe in the whole city, which basically makes it a castle.
No one in his civilian life knows he\'s actually...
Stuntboy! But his regular Portico identity is pretty cool, too.
And he does this all in secret.
Super safe.
And safe.
