Okay, I love this fucking book so much, but I just got this copy and never checked the inside and.....
(Image Description; A superhero domino mask on a white background. In the eye holes are the authors name, Perry Moore. Under it reads “Hero, A Novel”. End Description.)
Book Title; Hero
Where you might find it; This one is a little hard to find, as the author died shortly after writing it. In some libraries it may be in the YA section, but it’s likely to not be in many library systems. There is an ebook, and it can be ordered online or in bookstores.
Why I recommend; Hero is the story of Thom, a boy whose parents were both superheroes. He discovers he has powers, and on his own seeks to become a hero as well (though he knows his dad wouldn’t want him to). The story focuses on how he learns to understand people, and learns what happened to his family that brought him to that day. There’s a side of him falling in love with a boy he keeps running into. It’s a well written coming of age story, and a queer superhero story that was written a good ten years before mainstream comics caught up with the concept.

Do you like gay superheroes? Of course you do, you’re on tumblr. Well then, hell, have I got the book for you!
Superheroes. Teen Angst. Diverse characters. More superheroes. Bad decisions. Action. Corny names. Even more superheroes.
Thom Creed is your average high school nerd goody-two-shoes volunteer-of-the-year loser. Also he plays basketball (this is important) and has some sort of seizure disorder (also important). He’s got the worlds biggest crush on SupermanUberman. He’s also got a father who is not only homophobic but herophobic? superpowerphobic? Whatever, he’s got beef with the ~League~. Probably because he used to be Batman but now everyone hates him because his lack of superpowers got a bunch of people killed.
And then Thom starts developing superpowers of his own. Cue the teen angst. But also cue the origin story!
I found this to be a really great, emotional coming-of-age story. It’s about finding yourself, but also finding validation in being yourself. But around all the teen angst and bad decisions are sprinkled in some of the most blatant totally-not-copyright-infringement versions of popular superheroes, and I found them pretty hilarious. It’s like a fun little mini game you can play while reading: What Marvel/DC character is this referencing?

I am BEGGING y’all to read the novel Hero by Perry Moore. The story is about a Thom Creed, a boy who has had to deal with being the child of a hated former hero, his mom leaving when he was a kid, seisures, and growing up gay in a very unaccepting town. He realizes he has powers and joins up with the league, a superhero organization, which he has to hide behind his dads back. He joints a ragtag group of wannabe heroes who are all equally deep and interesting and have stories that make you sob. The whole book shows such and interesting father-son dynamic and has the classic found family trope and just makes me so EMOTIONAL every time I read it.
The book was written by queer author Perry Moore after he compiled a list of 60+ LGBT heroes who were died, castrated, hidden, tortured etc. and became angry. He wrote the book to show a messy queer hero with a story as interesting as every other straight hero and I am AMAZED it isn’t as huge as it could be. This is the kind of book that I genuinely believe deserves a fan base and I hope anybody who sees this checks it out
So I’m reading Hero by Perry Moore
You can’t go on like you’re going to start really living one day, like all this is some preamble to some great life that’s going to magically appear. I’m a firm believer that you have to create your own miracles. Don’t hold out that there’s something better waiting on the other side. It doesn’t work that way.
Perry Moore
