The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man by Michael Chabon

Awesome Man can shoot positronic rays out of his eyeballs, fly as straight as an arrow, and hug mutant Jell-O! Even villains like Professor Von Evil and the Flaming Eyeball are no match for this caped crusader.

But Awesome Man also has a secret. . . . Can you guess what it is?

The first picture book from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon entitled The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man ($18), perfectly captures the fantasy life of young superhero fans. Illustrations were provided by Jake Parker.

The 40 page hardcover will be available on September 6, 2011 and is suggested for readers between the ages of 4-8.
