Life couldn't be better for ten-year old Ryan King. He spends his days playing video games, riding his bike, or snuggled close to his dad as they follow the adventures of their favorite comic book superheroes, The Inhumans. Ryan and Dad are a team, and Ryan is sure they can overcome anything, as long as they stay together. Then one day Dad gets a troubling phone call and nothing will ever be the same. Ryan is placed in the care of an unfriendly aunt he never knew. New school, new friends, and a new foe--how will Ryan cope with so many new challenges at once? Ryan looks to his hero, Black Bolt, the silent King of the Inhumans, for strength--but will his comic book hero come to the rescue when real life bullies threaten Ryan and his friends? And where is Dad when Ryan needs him most?
