The New York Times bestselling creator of Hilo introduces new stories, new heroes, and new worlds with Hilo Presents!

Miranda's an average kid trying to make it through the school day--but is she also the SUPERHERO known as THE MIGHTY?! Get ready for mega-sized adventure and fun!

Welcome to Willow City--home to the one and only Miranda Luna!

Miranda loves her life in Willow City exactly as it is. But lately everything seems to be changing. Crime is up in the city. Bullying is up at school. Even Miranda's family is acting weird. It feels like everything is out of her control...even her own body! (What's with all this hair? And where did this super-strength come from?!) The world needs someone to fix things. There's a local legend about a giant, furry, mythical creature who has always kept Willow City safe in times of need. But that doesn't have anything to do with Miranda...right? Does Miranda have what it takes to be the hero that Willow City needs..and the person she was born to be?

With Hilo Presents, Judd Winick, the beloved creator of Hilo, brings his signature action-packed storytelling, laugh out loud humor and irresistible heart to brand new stories and worlds--perfect for fans of Hilo and for anyone who has ever needed a hero!
