A moth-holed chest, a golden thunderbolt, and a boy’s dreams of superhuman power

Description
In the quiet of an otherwise ordinary setting, young Bryson stumbles upon something extraordinary hidden inside a moth-holed chest: a golden thunderbolt. To anyone else, it might seem like an old, worn college football sweater, but to Bryson, it was so much more. He instantly recognizes it as the Sacred Jersey of Zap, a garment that marks his destiny to wield incredible superhuman powers.

In Bryson’s vivid imagination, this jersey is his key to greatness. He believes it grants him the ability to fly, become invisible, and shoot guns out of people’s hands from a distance with impeccable accuracy. He dreams of donning the jersey and wearing his underpants over his jeans, just like Superman, becoming a true hero hidden in the midst of an average family in small-town America.

This enchanting 5-CD audiobook takes listeners on a journey through Bryson’s fantastical adventures as he navigates the boundary between childhood dreams and reality. With humor, heart, and a touch of magic, the Sacred Jersey of Zap becomes a symbol of youthful imagination and the yearning for something greater.
