Summary: (from goodreads)

Review:
This book was a fun, engaging read involving four high school students that have different superpowers. It probably would have helped if I had read the first book, but I got into the story nonetheless. I love the feel of this graphic novel, it's fun and adventurous and great for kids who are fans of comic book heroes. There are some great resources at the end for librarians and teachers - discussion questions, writing prompts, and a glossary.
Recommended for 3rd grade and up.

I had split feelings on this one. I liked it, but I felt like it didn't really go anywhere much either. Compared to some of the other short ones we read for the Cybils, this definately wasn't at the top of my list. Maybe I would have liked it more if I had read the first one too.
