Miles Taylor is an ordinary kid going through a difficult transition. His mom left and he and his dad have moved to a smaller apartment. This move also forces him to change to a different middle school, where he has caught the attention of the school bully. But everything changes when he inherits the golden cape of Gilded, the seemingly invincible superhero who has been protecting Atlanta for 50 years. Now the power and responsibility rest on Miles's shoulders (both literally and figuratively). Can Miles figure out how to work the cape in time to save the Earth from an alien attack? Luckily, his new friend Henry is obsessed with Gilded. With Henry's help, he just might be able to do this. A clever and well-written look at the ins and outs of becoming a superhero. Fun comic strip panels show Gilded's adventures whenever Miles dons the cape. Highly recommended for grades 4 & up.

My son enjoyed this and it was overall a fun book, but I struggled with the writing style. This was not a easy book to read out loud and that's something we do a lot of.
