BECOMING A SUPERHERO
by Étienne Galloy
Thirteen-year-old Charlie seems like the perfect teenager, but he's overweight. In the jungle of high school, he becomes the perfect target for two rich kids as perfect as their Fortnite skins. To survive their attacks, he takes refuge in superheroes, especially The Eclipse, who runs at the speed of light. A story about fatphobia and bullying, where Charlie must learn to accept himself in his own skin while achieving his biggest dream... to become a superhero.
with Joey Bélanger, Florence Gonzalez, Aksel Leblanc, Jayden Henry, Jayden Boyd, Rémi Goulet, Carolanne Foucher
Why is this vital?
Because Charlie doesn't want to be changed, he just wants to be given the chance to become who he already is.
