Summary:When he was nine years old, young Timothy Drake's family decided to move to a small town in Kansas.

Review:
This is a fantastic slice of life story that presents an alternate universe based on changing an aspect of a main character’s background, which is always a favorite of mine. Tim moves to Smallville as a child and befriends the Kents, creating a family and a home for himself there. When Kon-El comes to stay with the Kents several years later, Tim finds himself dealing with anger and jealousy.

The author did a great job moving Tim and Kon from adversaries to friends to more. The transitioning relationship feels right and unhurried at each stage. I enjoyed the way Tim was brought into Kon’s world and how everything was revealed.

Overall there was a wonderfully winding tone to this. The journey was fantastic and the final destination felt right.
