is the summer of Superman at the movies. Also an
opportunity for you to read up on the Man of Steel,
and there are many great books on the subject, including Superman,
The high Flying History of America's Most Enduring Hero by
Larry Tye. It's about more than just the alien visitor
from Krypton who stood for truth, justice in the American way.

awkward teenagers growing up in the twenties and thirties in Cleveland.
Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegel created someone they wanted to be,
someone strong and brave, and most importantly, someone able to
protect the innocent. Over the years, the look of Superman
has changed, as have his missions, from fighting crime to
(00:42):
being the savior of the planet. This book is as
much a portrait of this country, the United States, evolving
over seventy years, represented by a hero representing the very
best of humankind. Superman, The High Flying History of America's
