"Safe"
Late in 2014 my publishers and I ran a contest where we asked young readers of my The Supers of Noble's Green series to write essays about real superheroes in their lives. The winner and runners' up were written into the very last Supers tale ever. You can read Halle Ludwig's winning essay, then click over to read the story that came out of it, titled "SAFE".
