The Lead In: I can’t tell if this is a super hero novel or a coming of age novel or a novel about race relations. Either way, its good.
The 411 on the 55: Dylan is shipped out of town for the summer to camp, he has an experience with a girl, making out. He lies about it later. He also has a sexual experience with Mingus, which was interesting, to say the least. Basically, Dylan is growing up.
They begin to push the idea of Arrowman or Aeroman and start fighting crime together at nights. Its not incredibly super-heroey work, but they break up a couple of muggings.
Oh, and Dylan’s dad wins a Hugo Award.
