fullDescription

The blockbuster DC Icons series that began with Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman, Marie Lu's Batman, and Sarah J. Maas's Catwoman continues with the story of the world's first super hero—SUPERMAN—from award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author MATT DE LA PEÑA.
When the dawn breaks, a hero rises.
His power is beyond imagining.
Clark Kent has always been faster, stronger—better—than everyone around him. But he wasn't raised to show off, and drawing attention to himself could be dangerous. Plus, it's not like he's earned his powers . . . yet.
But power comes with a price.
Lately it's difficult to hold back and keep his heroics in the shadows. When Clark follows the sound of a girl crying, he comes across Gloria Alvarez and discovers a dark secret lurking in Smallville. Turns out, Clark's not the only one hiding something. Teaming up with his best friend, Lana Lang, he throws himself into the pursuit of the truth. What evil lies below the surface of his small town? And what will it cost Clark to learn about his past as he steps into the light to become the future Man of Steel? Because before he can save the world, he must save Smallville.
Act fast! The first printing includes a poster of Clark Kent! Each first printing in the DC Icons series has a limited-edition poster—collect them all to create the full image!

     Something foul's afoot in Smallville, Kansas.Thanks to hefty investment from the formidable Mankins Corporation, the town's economy is booming. While Mankins' technology has an impact on local farms, another shadowy company is buying them up for more nefarious reasons. Partnering with his best friend and hotshot student paper editor, Lana Lang, Clark Kent seeks to uncover the truth behind the mysterious developments in Smallville. Various threads come satisfyingly together in de la Peña's (Carmela Full of Wishes, 2018, etc.) tribute to the young Man of Steel, but the author aims for more fertile ground with an immigration subplot. Woven throughout the novel are discussions of a stop-and-search initiative in Smallville. The proposed law ostensibly targets the town's minority migrant community; meanwhile, migrant workers are disappearing at an alarming rate. As always, Smallville functions as a fictional microcosm of the U.S., but here there's a blunt effort to examine the bigotry and discord lurking beneath the optimistic American facade. On a personal level, Clark struggles to manage his burgeoning powers as he ponders his place in Smallville High and beyond. The existential angst that torments the young hero elicits sympathy. Familiar characters make appearances--hello, Lex Luthor--but a few Mexican characters appear in minor roles, including Clark's love interest Gloria Alvarez, a promising Dreamer.A wonderful, bold interpretation of a DC icon that aspires to embrace all readers, new and old. (Superhero adventure. 12-18)

     Gr 8 Up-In the latest series installment, de la Peña brings teenage Clark Kent to the present day, fighting against racial prejudice, abduction, and genetic experimentation in Smallville. Clark has just left the football team, much to the chagrin of his teammates, who feel betrayed. While he may have been the best player on his team, Clark knows quitting is for the best, giving him more time to spend with his best friend and aspiring journalist Lana Lang. Clark begins hanging out with Bryan, son of a powerful businessman who is trying to buy up family farms, and Bryan's mysterious friend, Lex Luthor. Tensions are high as the town prepares to vote on a stop-and-search initiative. Prejudice and violence toward Smallville's Mexican population are increasing, and Clark's friend and crush, Gloria Alvarez, claims that people are disappearing. As Clark learns the truth about his past and questions his identity, one thing remains true: Clark will always help those in need. This is a modern and relevant take on Clark Kent's teenage years, ending with the protagonist taking on the role of Superman. New characters seamlessly interact with familiar ones. VERDICT Recommended for libraries where this series is popular.-Marissa Lieberman, East Orange Public Library, NJ

     Grades 9-12 Teenage Clark Kent, the boy who will become Superman, feels lost among his teammates and school friends. He's actively tried to be a hero, but that has led to more collateral damage than the original accidents might have. He's the anxious stranger, forever trapped outside, looking in on the things he thinks he can't have. Modern Smallville is beset with modern problems: a stop-and-frisk law is coming up on the ballots, and immigrants are disappearing from the city, quietly whisked away for no doubt nefarious purposes. Clark must follow the clues?foreshadowing his future as an investigative reporter?and face up to the fact that this world needs heroes, and he might need to be one of them. The DC Icons series, which uses popular and award-winning YA authors to give classic heroes a new spin (see Sarah J. Maas' Catwoman: Soulstealer, 2018), works well. This combination of Superman and de la Pe�a will fly off library shelves, as the award-winning author offers a glimpse into the Man of Steel's beginning as a teenage outsider.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
