Joseph “Wilco” Wilkes is an ordinary boy facing everyday struggles—he’s asthmatic, bullied at school, and stuck on a scholarship at a fancy private school. Everything changes when he discovers he can move things with his mind. As his powers grow, he wonders if this might be his chance to stand up to bullies, win the respect of his peers—and maybe even get the girl. Balancing comedy, school life, and superhero excitement, Wonderboy explores what real courage and heroism truly mean.
