The Blue Spark

Max is a supervillain growing up in a supervillain family– his mom controls fire and his dad is like a tornado. Max has the power of invisibility, which he uses to wreak havoc and go unseen. Or so he thinks. But Max goes to school with Ronnie, the son of superheroes and a champion of justice who can see in others what no one else can see–even good hearts in misbehaving boys. What happens when these two super-forces square off?
