This unforgettable novel, at once touching and funny, presents Jerry Chariot, an ordinary American kid who writes letters to Superman, because Jerry really believes in The Man of Steel. He is a boy who yearns to be loved and yearns to be Super in an everyday world so filled with unfairness that he must create his own reality - until the book's shattering conclusion makes Jerry realize who Superman really is.
