Summaries

Four ordinary kids face the extraordinary fact that a superhero really did exist in their city. The Silver Shadow is a forgotten crusader who waged a solitary war against crime and wrongdoing in the city 50 years ago. The kids discover a recording of the Silver Shadow's mind - an artificial intelligence the hero constructed in case he ever lost his fight against evil. The recording has a single purpose: to recruit a replacement. For our four kids, it's an opportunity of a lifetime - to learn and implement the Silver Shadow's heroic powers. They embark upon a bizarre double life - school kids by day, fledgling superheroes by night.—Anonymous

Legacy of the Silver Shadow follows the adventures of four kids and a dead superhero. Issues of identity, aspiration, peer pressure and acceptance underpin an overall theme of right versus wrong and good versus evil. Our everyday super heroes find that the true nature of heroism lies beyond costumes and gadgets.
