Crunch!

A fun and entertaining tale of how one
Super-Hero family saves the day
During high school, Walter Braymend (or Crunch)
and his future wife Amanda confront Mustachio, one
of the most notorious Super-Villains, and it reshapes
the entire Super-Hero world. Walter and Amanda
become the last two adult Super-Heroes in the world.
But this event leaves one critical question
unanswered: Can Crunch and his family ensure the revival of the Super-Hero
community?
Their real adventure begins with raising seven children who all have superpowers.
Needless to say, chaos ensues. In a humorous first-person account, Walter provides
insights into growing up with superpowers, parenting those with superpowers, and
even a glimpse into what the infrastructure of the Super-Hero world is supposed to be
like, including classes, code names, and Super-Suits.
As he puts it, "They are really uncomfortable! You're basically wearing industrial-strength spandex. It feels like you're walking around in a suit of armor that's skin-tight."
Crunch is entertaining in that it provides a unique perspective on how Super-Heroes
operate within society—or at least attempt to. Raising children is already a whirlwind,
but raising kids with superpowers and insatiable appetites takes the experience to a
whole new level.
As Walter humorously reflects about a trip to Burger King, "You're
there with your wife and seven very young kids, and you've just ordered fifty-two
orders of fries, three burgers for each kid, and a salad. Put in that order next time
you're at any restaurant and see what kind of reactions you get."
One of the book's highlights is the conversational narration. Walter Braymend
maintains a consistent, fatherly tone throughout the book, ensuring that readers are
always aware of the storyteller. The plot unfolds like an engaging story from a funloving
father with several children, complete with distractions and side notes that add
a layer of comedy to this lighthearted Super-Family story.
While some readers may find the narration style unconventional, the author
acknowledges this concern in the first chapter. This early self-awareness sets the tone
for the book and allows readers to gauge whether the narrative aligns with their
preferences.
Crunch primarily delves into the life of a Super-Hero family and their journey from
inception to maturity, with the Super-Villain serving as a secondary character. Those
expecting a plethora of action-packed sequences may not find what they seek, but
those in pursuit of a good laugh will certainly discover it here.
This comedic account of raising Super-Hero children is the linchpin of this story, and it
proves a hilarious, enjoyable, and easy read. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a
light-hearted adventure in the world of Super-Hero families.
