Publisher's Synopsis
Leon struggles with a super ego - and a super secret! - in the second graphic novel in Jamar Nicholas's action-packed, heartfelt and joyously funny series.
After saving his classmates from The Monocle, and now that he has access to tons of cool crime-fighting gadgets, Leon is the superhero his school needs. Or at least... he thinks he is. Leon's vigil-antics make Mom and Principal Principle angry, but even worse, Leon is avoiding his best friend, Carlos, to keep Mom's superhero identity a secret. Can Leon dig deep and rediscover his heart and common sense? Or will his bad behavior reach a point of no return?

- With stunning highly-detailed illustrations throughout, Jamar Nicholas brings Leon to life in glorious colour
