My favorite story types is that of self-discovery and my favorite genre is super heroes ... THIS IS BOTH! I like your layers of story and how family history comes back to bite them. A cool little heroes journey.

*9 chapters had been released at the time of this review, so might contain spoilers up to that point.*
I'll start off by saying that I love superhero stories so I usually set my expectations pretty high, but 'Show and Tell' didn't disappoint. The plot is fairly different from what I have seen around Royal Road so far and it actually reminded me a little of 'The Incredibles' and not in a rip-off, unoriginal way, rather the aura it gave off.
It blends the elements of family, childhood adventures and mystery quite well and I was impressed by the unexpected turn of events around chapter 5. The story has a good balance between actions and thoughts and the pace is appropriate for what it intends to deliver. The premise was especially nice, I really appreciate the author's sense of humor.
The main characters are interesting and have already set relationships, however, I feel like even after 9 chapters, I have not fully invested myself in them. That may just be because the chapters are short and the number betrays the amount of content that has been posted or because the characters are fairly young. That is not to say that they lack potential, there is definitely room for them to grow on the readers, just that I would have liked to learn a little more about them, maybe between the dialogue. As a side-note, I'll point out that I really like how the two children have similar names, haha.
A huge positive is that I feel like this is the kind of story that can be shared and enjoyed with most age groups. For example, I'd have no trouble handing this down to a budding, pre-teen reader and would neither feel any hesitancy in recommending it to an adult. The light and vibrant tone of the story makes it so.
The style is easy to understand and pleasing to the eyes and the grammar is good as well. My only complaint is that there is a lack of scene setting in some instances, but that's my complaint with most stories and it's a minor issue and can be fixed with just a few additional line

The plot is fascinating, that said, you need to change the summary. It has been a long time since you updated so I am guessing you gave up on it. However, I must tell you that you have the talent and creativity, you only need the practice.

This is a little tongue in cheek story that plays into the superhero mythos and at the same time pokes a little fun at it. The dialogue gets to be almost eye-rolling at times with its awkward youthful slang coming out of 10 year olds and then there are digs at being old at 35. The description could use a little expansion because some of the scenes are a bit sparse. Some aspects went in this direction of cheesy and it made balancing the tone tough. This is still a good and fun short story, but it does feel unfinished.
