The Breakfast Club meets the Fantastic Four in the first book of this new middle-grade series by renowned author-illustrator of the POPULARITY PAPERS, Amy Ignatow.
What do you get when you mix a chubby sci-fi nerd, an arty cartoonist, a social outcast, and the most popular girl in school with a mysterious bus crash? You get some very specific superpowers, apparently. After the crash, the motley crew of middle schoolers notices some very strange abilities they did not have before. Martina, an artist, can change her eye color. Nick, the sci-fi guy, can teleport . . . four inches to the left. Farshad, an outsider, develops super strength in his thumbs, and only in his thumbs. And Cookie, the it-girl, has suddenly developed the ability to read minds . . . when those minds are thinking about directions. They are, in short, oddly mighty, especially together.
This group—who would never hang out under normal circumstances—must now combine all of their strange part-powers to figure out what happened during the bus accident. With alternating narratives from each of the heroes as well as drawings from Martina, this is a quirky, pitch-perfect read from Popularity Papers author-illustrator Amy Ignatow.
