MILES TAYLOR & GOLDEN CAPE YA NOVEL (2025)

"After a summer of fighting crime, Miles Taylor is bummed that nothing has changed for him at Chapman Middle School. Sure, he may be in the eighth grade now and have a secret identity as Gilded, the world's only superhero, but that doesn't protect him from the Jammer's bullying or make him any more deserving of Josie's affection. It's not long before his attitude lands him and his best friend, Henry, in a military compound, at the mercy of the power-crazed General Breckenridge. When the General steals the golden cape, Miles finds himself back at square one with no superpowers and no hope of escape. On the verge of losing everything - and everyone - he cares about, Miles must discover the hero within himself before the General puts his evil plans into action."
