"Imbued with Jewish meaning...Just the thing to turn scaredy-cats into caped crusaders." —Kirkus Reviews
Zoey Zoombeck is afraid of lots of things, but when she receives a superhero cape for her birthday, she transforms into Zoey Zoombeck, Superhero!
From stopping avalanches to rescuing runaway trains, Zoey faces danger with her cape and a little imagination . . . until she discovers that she can find her courage even without it. A humorous story of imagination and inner strength.
