Portico Reeves (aka Stuntboy, but shhh, no one knows) is back for some new superhero adventures: keeping everyone SAFE.
But one major problem: Stuntboy couldn’t save his parents from getting divorced.
Portico has to split between his parents, who live on two floors in the same apartment building (Skylight Gardens).
One day, Portico got stuck in the elevator with Ms. Rosedale and got the frets, meaning anxiety. Because of that, Portico’s new friend Herbert wanted to show Portico and his friend Zola something he found on the top floor. But he has to get through a gang of bullies on the way. But that won’t stop Stuntboy from getting through those bullies. On the top floor, he finds an empty apartment, which never happens in Skylight Gardens. The three friends make the empty apartment their base, where they are free, and no one can tell them what to do.

This book is a sequel, and I didn’t read the first book but understood the story. A short prologue can be found at the beginning of the book.
The book is not a regular graphic novel but more like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid format.
The book tackles the challenges of friendships, bullies, anxiety, and divorce.
Give this book to fans of superhero adventures.
