"Stuntboy, in the Meantime" by Lamar Giles is a captivating middle-grade novel about a young superhero-in-training named Zeno. He navigates the challenges of childhood while dealing with the pressures of being a superhero, facing fears, and managing friendships. Zeno, who feels like a "stuntboy" in his own life, grapples with insecurities and worries about fitting in, all while trying to save the day in his imagination. As he learns to embrace his unique talents and build meaningful connections with others, Zeno discovers that being a hero isn't just about superpowers but about courage and resilience.
