Hertz to Be a Hero is an exciting good-versus-evil battle between a brother-sister superhero team and the evil Mephisto. It is book #2 in the "Wanted: Superheroes" series. The evil Mephisto is still on the prowl, and he hopes to bring the city of Nirvana to its knees by controlling its people with a hypnotizing gas.
