Rebel Seoul by Axie Oh is not exactly a super hero story. But, just as Iron Man wears an iron suit, one of our characters in Rebel Seoul gets to wear an iron suit. The story is set in East Asia in the late twenty-second century, and as in so many Young Adult futuristic stories, the world is at war. This book follows an eighteen-year-old ex-gang member who ends up recruited into a weapons-development program and is given the job of keeping track of the girl in the iron suit. This is a story of loyalty and beliefs and standing up for what is right.
