"Captain Nobody" by Dean Pitchford tells the story of a young boy named Newt Newman, who feels overlooked and overshadowed by his more popular and athletic brother. When his brother is injured during a football game, Newt dons a homemade superhero costume, "Captain Nobody," to boost his brother's spirits and discover his own potential. As Captain Nobody, Newt embarks on adventures in his small town, learning about courage, friendship, and the importance of being true to oneself. Through humor and heart, the story highlights themes of identity and the heroic qualities that often lie within the most unexpected characters.
