Nelson is a superhero with an embarrassing problem...

He can't fly very well and he's been ordered to attend remedial flying school. If he doesn't pass the class he'll lost his superhero license and have to work at the weather bureau.

But a class in remedial flying is just the beginning of his problems.

His girlfriend thinks he's self-obsessed, and his mom won't get off his case about not living up to the family legacy.

When Nelson is framed for a crime and sent to the Defining Center of Adjustments, the sinister warden Pretty Boy will challenge everything he thought he knew about being a hero.

If Nelson can't get his act together and realize that what makes a superhero isn't the costume, but the actions the superhero takes, he might lose more than his career.

He might lose his life and everyone important to him.

An excerpt from Learning How to Fly

I’m stepping out of my door when I hear the phone ring. I momentarily debate answering it, but I’m already late to class and whoever’s calling can leave a message. And let’s face it, this class in particular, is really important. I don’t want to be late.

Why don’t I want to be late? I’ve got mandatory flying lessons because I’m not good in the air. I have an image to uphold as a superhero, a responsibility I take seriously, and not always being able to fly, well it’s a problem for the Superhero Bureau (also known as the SHB). They’ve told me that if I don’t get my act together with the flying they might have to take away my superhero license, maybe put me in the weather bureau or find some other use for my abilities.

The SHB has a rule book it enforces religiously when it comes to being a superhero, and one of those rules is that if you’re a hero you have to be able to fly. Nothing quite makes a dramatic entrance like a hero flying in to save the day and the SHB wants us to not just be heroes, but actually look the part too.
