Dan Unmasked

This heartfelt middle grade debut about grief, creativity, and the
healing power of friendship shows that not all heroes wear capes and is perfect for fans of John David Anderson and Ali
Benjamin.

Whether they’re on the baseball field or in Nate’s basement devouring
the newest issue of their favorite comic book, Dan and Nate are always talking.
Until they’re not.

After an accident at baseball practice, Nate’s fallen into a
coma. And if Dan ever wants to talk to Nate again, he’s got to take a page out
of his hero Captain Nexus’s book, and do whatever it takes to save the day.

But heroes have powers—and without Nate, all Dan has is a
closet stuffed with comics and a best-friend-shaped hole in his heart. There’s
no way a regular kid can save the day all on his own. Right?
