Superheroes soar in this promising debutâand theyâre kids!
Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his niceâbut oddânew friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but theyâre haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappearâalong with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers?
The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War IIâera comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, andâpossibly, unbelievablyââpowerlessâ regular-kid Daniel himself.
Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero.
