Finch and his three buddies dream of having superpowers to fight the injustice that seems to be routine in grade 4. When an old cape magically starts to speak to Finch, he begins to learn to take matters into his own hands to save the day. Fun characters, such as the grade 4 teacher - a sensitive new age kind of guy, and Finch's sister - a classic snarly older sib, make the story extra fun.
