Ever since he was a young boy, Josh Blevins has wanted to be a superhero. One day, when he was nine, a retired superhero moved in across the street from him. Joshua immediately went over to talk to the retired hero, and after a brief discussion the man agreed to train Joshua as his apprentice. Now, five years later, Joshua has become the epitome of physical and mental fitness, and he sends in an application to a superhero academy. When they respond, however, they have horrible news. They respect his physical and mental prowess, but because he doesn’t possess a superpower, he is unable to attend the Academy. Joshua is not defeated, however, and he reapplies as the hero ‘Chance Fortune’, who has the power of good luck. This time he is accepted, and he leaves for the academy, never realizing the adventure awaiting him. The second book continues the adventure.
