<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The first in a new series from the creator of the Popularity Papers series about a diverse crew of middle-school kids who develop very limited superhero powers after a strange accident and manage to become unlikely friends on the adventure of a lifetime. Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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--and mighty odd--superpowers. Martina can change her eye color; 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. <p/> Starring a diverse group of kids, this series' multiple narrators make for a quirky, contemporary read that tackles identity and stereotypes. Praised widely, Ignatow's characters have been called "very real" by the <i>New York Times</i> and "completely convincing" by the <i>New Yorker</i>. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Ignatow turns on its head the classic middle school good kids-vs.-the populars/bullies trope... Hilarious and revealing, this series opener is a must-have."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Amy Ignatow</b> is a cartoonist and the author of the Popularity Papers series of scrapbook-style illustrated novels. She is a graduate of Moore College of Art and Design and lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two kids. On rare occasions, she enjoys sleeping.
