Kids love superheroes, but they envy them and covet their powers. So what if an ordinary child met some child superheroes? That's the situation Matthew Cody puts his protagonist Daniel in Powerless, a fantastic book that I'm hoping he has a sequel for in the works. When Daniel's family moves to Noble's Green to came for his ill grandmother, all his new friends are slightly strange. He finds out the whole truth once they save his life, including that they lose their powers upon turning thirteen.
Daniel battles jealousy at being ordinary even as he attempts to help his extraordinary friends. He learns of a old town mystery complete with a mysterious old man, evil villain, and comic books. Cody's book will appeal to boys and girls who like superheroes, and ordinary heroes too. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel, Super.
