Leon the Extraordinary
1 primary work
Book 2
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?
Equal parts New Kid and The Incredibles, this
is the second graphic novel in this action-packed, heartfelt,
and joyously funny series by Jamar Nicholas
Reminds readers that when it comes to being a hero, you just
need to believe in yourself
With stunning highly-detailed illustrations throughout, Jamar
Nicholas brings Leon to life in glorious colour
