Superpowerless - Thryft

Ordinary boy's extraordinary journey to manhood.

"Superpowerless" offers more than just a superhero narrative; it's an intimate exploration of personal growth amidst loss and the complexities of adolescence. David's hidden abilities are a metaphor for the struggles we all face in finding our place in the world. If you're looking for a story that's grounded in reality while touching on the fantastical, this journey will resonate with you through its raw emotion and relatable trials.

Description

David is sixteen. A pretty ordinary boy, in most ways - he just wants to hang out in his bedroom, reading his dad's old comics. Comics that are full of his heroes - those figures whose lives are charmed, special, unique. Life hasn't been easy recently for David, though. His father died just a couple of years ago, he has a fractious relationship with his mum, and he has fallen out with his best friend. But, David has a secret, which he hasn't told anyone. He has superpowers. He can soar through the air, he has superhearing, he feels and hears everything super-keenly. So life should be easier, then, shouldn't it? But somehow it's not - and when David gets involved with the girl next door, gorgeous Holly Hunter, he begins to realise just how very complicated it can get. David's harbouring another secret, a deeper darker one, and on this journey from boyhood to manhood, will he have the courage to face up to it?
