The Joshua Dread series puts a twist on the superhero genre by telling the story from the villain’s kid’s point of view. Joshua’s parents are famous supervillains, and when he starts developing powers of his own, his already complicated life gets a lot harder. The series runs five books from the prequel Jack Vandal through The Dominion Key.
Lee Bacon balances humor with action and genuine stakes as Joshua tries to figure out what kind of person he wants to be when his family tree points in a very specific direction. The books published between 2012 and 2014 and are aimed at middle-grade readers who like their superhero stories with a comedic edge.
