Superhuman

'Up, up and a. . . uh oh!'

Jude's going through puberty, but some developments have startled him.

As his growing pains start to pack a real punch, he begins to reconsider: was his dad telling the truth when he claimed to be a superhero?

Until now, he'd always figured those tales of battling corrupt forces after dark were down to one drink too many - especially when the guy stumbled in each morning with whisky souring his breath. Then he took off completely -some hero.

Yet now Jude's not so sure. Are these changes standard issue stuff, or a sign of special powers?
