Awesome Man can shoot positronic rays out of his eyeballs, fly as straight asan arrow, and hug mutant Jell-O! Even villains like Professor Von Evil and the Flaming Eyeball are no match for this caped crusader.

But Awesome Man also has a secret. . . . Can you guess what it is?

The first picture book from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon perfectly captures the fantasy life of young superhero fans.

We loved this book when we first read it in book format. The pictures are great! And I can't say we would have enjoyed it as much if we hadn't already seen those. That being said, my son absolutely loves this audible. He listens to it often at bedtime. Marc Thompson did a fabulous job, his voice is just perfect for the story. If you have young boys I would highly recommend this, its fun, fast paced and one they will listen to over and over!

My 8 yr old son's favorite book!
