Searching for Super: Almost Super

The superheroes of Split Rock are hunkering down.

At least, that's what the Baileys are calling it. But Rafter Bailey knows that hunkering down is just a fancy way of saying the heroes are hiding. Ever since those supervillainous Joneses took away their real powers, the Baileys and the Johnsons have been living in fear.

Rafter is sick of hunkering down. He's had a taste of what saving the day feels like, and now he is desperate to do something important.

So when Rafter gets an opportunity to fight with a real superpower-as long as he promises not to tell his parents-he is going to take it, no questions asked. With the help of his brother Benny, his cousin Thimon, and his best friend, Juanita, Rafter Bailey is searching for super.

Filled with all the heart and humor of Almost Super, which Kirkus Reviews called fluent, funny, and eminently sequel-worthy, Searching for Super is a family adventure of heroic proportions.
