Description
Veronica has worked hard to get her emotions under control. Sometimes strong feelings still turn into superpowers-giving her a personal raincloud on a bad day or literally turning her green with envy. But it's happening a lot less! Then Veronica gets a new job at summer camp: directing her own horror movie with her best friend Charlie. What feels like a dream come true turns into a nightmare as Veronica's superpowers rage out of control and start infecting the people around her. Mix in the fact that Charlie's moving away, his scientist parents are getting suspicious about Veronica's abilities, and that fact that she has a lot to learn about making friends and keeping them, and it's clear having superpowers is still both the best and the worst thing that's ever happened to her.
