Lonely latchkey kid Tobi dreams of growing up to fight the giant monsters that plague his city, just like his dad, but when he stumbles upon the power to turn into the colossal superhero, Go-Man, he realizes he’s been wishing his childhood away.
Go-Man vs. The Star Dragon is an action-packed, highly bingeable middle grade adventure about how one kid overcomes the differences that set him apart from his classmates in order to make friends and save his city. It’s also, at its heart, a story about an autistic kid overcoming neglect in his home. It draws on Hamish’s own childhood experiences and obsessions, making this project very close to his heart. This follow-up to Go-Man: Champion of Earth finds Tobi getting more comfortable with his superhero persona, but his best (and only) friend Grace is struggling with her own identity and how it fits into Tobi’s larger-than-life adventures. When Tobi is invited to Robug Academy, his dream, he also struggles with how to find a place among his favorite heroes, the Robugs, how to stay true to himself and his friend, and how to do the right thing when everyone is telling him it’s wrong. Who are the real villains here? And is Tobi in danger of becoming one of them?Author: Hamish Steele
