Even superheroes have problems. That’s what Nolan discovers when he meets Chase Morton, the boy who plays his favorite TV superhero on The Gecko and Sticky. Chase is being hounded by a sleazy tabloid reporter who is evil! Sneaky! A liar! So Nolan vows to expose the truth on Shredderman.com. After all, superheroes have to stick together in the fight for truth and justice. Oh, yeah!

"The protagonist's strength in rising above his fear of Bubba and showing compassion for him is gently and poignantly portrayed...Reluctant readers will find this book accessible, and the use of modern technology to fight the "bad guys" is an appealing inclusion." -- School Library Journal

"A lighthearted, fast-moving story, with Nolan serving as a true hero." --Booklist
