Synopsis: Key Selling Points Fifteen-year-old Malcolm Gravenhurst is about to become a Guardian to defend his city against aliens when he learns some disturbing truths about his family. Guardians of Porthaven offers an excellent exploration of allyship and representation featuring themes of male mental health, LGBTQ+ relationships, in-equality and equity in action. This book is perfect for fans of the Percy Jackson series or the X-Men comics. The author has long been a superhero-comics fan and wanted to explore the less glamorous consequences of having that kind of power. The story is also a subtle and timely commentary on socioeconomic disparity and the responsibilities of the wealthy and privileged. Free Discussion Guide available for download at orcabook.com.
