Description
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. 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 New York Times and "completely convincing" by the New Yorker.

Reviews**STARRED REVIEW** "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"
