About this listen
Almost official...
For the kids of the Neighborhood Watch, the final weeks of middle school are interminable. In the fall they will get to attend the Hero Academy, studying to become Just Cause superheroes. Their plans get derailed when police officers gun down an unarmed black man. Annalisa, aka La Capitána, gets video of them trying to cover up the killing.
The incident leads to protests, which inevitably turn violent as emotions run high. The kids of the Neighborhood Watch do their best to calm things down and keep people civil, but situations escalate and people get hurt. How can a group of 14-year-olds keep their hometown from dissolving into riots, especially when the protests attract the attention of a pair of supervillains who thrive on chaos?
©2019 Ian Thomas Healy (P)2019 Ian Thomas HealyWhen two white policemen kill an unarmed black man Annalisa, aka La Capitána finds herself in a difficult position as she filmed the aftermath, were the two police officer's discuss what there story is going to be. The situation is already explosive as the community turns against the police. Her team is divided as to which side they should be standing up for and it gets worse when two team members get hurt. It's to much for a group of teenagers who should be celebrating the last days of school before starting at the Hero academy, not stopping vigils from turning into riots. When two super hero villains are expected to make an appearance to disrupt the peace gatherings Annalisa has no choice but seek help from a real super hero team because looking after her neighbourhood has turned into a full team job and she is missing to many classes.
I like the narrator. She uses her voice well to bring you lots of different characters.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Diverse story and hero's but still great
