What do you get when you mix a sci-fi nerd, a cartoonist, a social outcast, and the most popular girl in school with a mysterious bus crash? Some very specific superpowers: Martina can change her eye colour; Nick can teleport four inches to the left; Farshad can develop super strength, but only in his thumbs; and Cookie can read minds, when those minds are thinking about directions. They are, in short, the just okayish heroes. Starring a diverse group of kids with (very limited) superpowers, this series’ multiple narrators make for a quirky, pitch-perfect read that tackles identity and stereotypes. Ignatow’s characters have been praised widely, as “very real” by the New York Times and “completely convincing” by the New Yorker.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
