WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO?Hope did, but she grew outof it. Which made her superhuman breakthrough in the Ashland Bombing,just before starting her freshman year at the University of Chicago,more than a little ironic. And now she has some decisions to make. Giventhe code-name "Astra" and invited to join the Sentinels, Chicago'spremier super-team, will she take up the cape and mask and become acareer superhero? Or will she get a handle on her new powers(super-strength has some serious drawbacks) and then get on with herlife-plan?In a world where superheroes join unions and haveagents, and the strongest and most photogenic ones become literalsupercelebrities, the temptation to become a "cape" is strong. But theprice can be high-especially if you're "outed" and lose the shield ofyour secret identity. Becoming a sidekick puts the decision off forawhile, but Hope's life is further complicated when The TeatimeAnarchist, the supervillain responsible for the Ashland Bombing, takesan interest in her. Apparently as Astra, Hope is supposed to save theworld. Or at least a significant part of it.------------------------Wearing the Capeis a 300-page superhero novel for anyone who ever loved comic-book heroes, and wonders how they might behave in the real world.
