Powerless

Powerless
By: Matthew Cody

At some point in time, I'm sure each and every one of us has felt 'powerless' in a sense. If not, I hate to break it to you but your time will come. That's exactly how twelve-year-old Daniel Corrigan feels when his family has to relocate to a new town because his grandmother is very ill. Right away, Daniel realizes everyone in Noble's Green is very odd. He doesn't realize how odd until he finds himself involved with a very unique group of friends.

Daniel develops friendships with other children who can fly, turn invisible, and even control electricity. The big mystery is why the special "superheroes" of Noble's Green seem to lose their powers at the age of thirteen. The friends come together to fight an evil memory/power stealing villain. In the process of figuring out this so called mystery, the friends learn just what being a true friend is all about.

This book was truly a great read. I honestly couldn't put the book down and was disappointed when it ended. This story goes to show that you don't have to have superpowers to be a true superhero. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
