Description

From Newbery Medal honoree and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes the sequel to the hilarious, hopeful, and action-packed middle grade novel Stuntboy, in the Meantime about the greatest young superhero you’ve never heard of, jam-packed with illustrations by Raúl the Third! Portico Reeves, known as Stuntboy, is a superhero many haven't heard of and he likes it that way to keep people safe. However, he faces a major fail as he couldn't save his parents from becoming divorced, referred to as becoming 'Xs.' The story explores Portico's life in-between living with each parent in their apartment building, and dealing with bullies in the stairwells due to a broken elevator. Along with his friends Herbert and Zola, they find an empty apartment to use as a hideout which leads to more complications, doubling the frets for Portico, and he's unsure if his stunts can handle the new challenges.
