Synopsis

Nick Townley has lived his entire life—all eleven years—at Black Butte Ranch, nestled in the foothills of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains. While his parents push him to study, practice sports, and make friends, Nick prefers to retreat into his superhero universe and create exciting Adventures of Click comics. When a string of robberies threatens Dad's job, forcing them to move across the country, Nick's world implodes. He loves his home, and what will he do about the $237,000 in cash under his bed that Great Gramp gave him before he died? Desperate to stop the move, Nick steps off his comic book pages and ventures into the night as Click, an undercover superhero. Catching thieves would be a lot easier if he had actual superpowers. When three new kids discover his identity and want to join him, Nick vows to stay undercover . . . until he realizes even a superhero needs friends. But can he ask them to put their lives in danger to save his home? What would Click do?

Nick had always been very close with his grandpa, or Great Gramp as he liked to call him. Great Gramp understood him in a way his parents didn't and loved him as he was, even if he wasn't a great soccer player like his dad and liked to make comics instead of study. Nick loves to write and illustrate......more
