Max is a supervillain growing up in a supervillain family-- his mom controls fire and his dad is like a tornado. Max has the power of invisibility, which he uses to wreak havoc and go unseen.

Meet the Authors
As reading tutors to elementary-aged students, the teens of Reach noticed that few children's books reflected their lived experience as youth of color. So they decided to take action and write their own. Now these D.C. teens are diversifying children's literature, one smart-fun-real-brave-bold story at a time.
Remi was a student at Perry Street Prep and KIPP College Preparatory School when he authored his books. He likes to read, sketch, catch up on political news, be a well-rounded and intellectual person, and help others. He is also the co-author of a Reach book called The Blue Spark. He hopes his readers learn that despite personal struggles, individuals can overcome obstacles and understand others.
