After I’m adopted into my new family, something amazing happens—my shoes begin to reveal their super-secret superpower. Suddenly, anything feels possible! But can I handle such a big secret? And what does it really mean to be a hero?
Step into my super shoes and find out!
Book 2:
Mathis in The Big Catch
In The Big Catch, I’m ready for a brand-new adventure—fishing with Dad! When he surprises me with my very own fishing rod, I’m excited, nervous, and totally determined.
But fishing takes patience…
and teamwork…
and maybe just a little superhero courage.
Do I have what it takes to make the big catch of the day?
Grab a line with Xander and me—and come find out!
