Twelve-year-old Daphne Cygnus is the leader of a team of superheroes, the Saviors of the Solar System. Well, actually, they’re just a group of middle school cosplayers. All the same, after years of research, sewing, and dreaming, Daphne and her best friends, Rosa and Belle, are sure that they’re going to win this year’s “under thirteen” cosplay contest at a local comic book convention. But dreams fly out the window when Daphne catches a couple of convention-goers on video, telling Rosa—who is Black—that she’s not allowed to cosplay as a white character and that she should “stick to her own kind.”

The descendant of Holocaust survivors and bearing the bruises of playground bullying, Daphne has always gone out of her way to be the best possible friend and to protect innocent people from hate. The problem is, Rosa doesn’t seem to want Daphne’s help.

Ultimately, there are many different kinds of heroes. Daphne must learn to be a considerate ally. And understand that Rosa must choose her own path.
