Review
Humorous science fiction story about a group of kids who get only unhelpful super powers on their twelfth birthdays. Disappointed with this turn of events they band together to find the reason behind this debacle. Unfortunately, in order to defeat the true evil in town, the children must get the adults not to see each other as long standing enemies.
Written with great exuberance, readers will be swept up in this unusual super power fantasy. The characters are a riot and the amusing situations that they find themselves in will keep readers turning pages. Great book for reluctant readers, although the youthfully illustrated jacket may deter some.
Overall Book Score: very good
