1.Main idea:
Bob Parr and his family have incredible power. They help to people from theft, and so on. But, one day, when Bob helped, he injured many people at the same time. After that happening, his honor is broken and he must retire as a hero. Fifteen years later, they have been forced to adopt civilian and lived with his children, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. He itches like before his figure. One day, a mysterious woman had contacted him to request a secret mission. He had received her request, but this mission was trap. Before fifteen years, there is a boy named “incredibleboy” who respect Bob who is hero. However, Bob snubbed him so a boy has hated him. The man who trap him is this a boy. The wife who knew that he had trouble had decided to help him with two kids. The wife has ability that she can change her body’s shape, such as stretch, thin, and screw, and Violet has ability that she can make a barrier and become a see-through. Also, Dash can run very fast. The family fought in cooperation to use each abilities and won.

2.Interesting point:
I was interested in their having variety abilities. If I were them, I would want to have a wife’s ability or Violet’s it. This story is drawn about family’s love. I like such as story very much. Also, this story was exciting. I felt that it was very fast that time passed.
