Powerless


Powerless is one of the best books I have EVER read! (Probably because Matthew Cody is one of the best authors in the history of the world!) Powerless is an exciting book about a boy named Daniel Corrigan who moves from Philadelphia to Noble's Green, PA, the safest town on Earth. Daniel had no friends until he meets two of the Supers, Mollie Lee and Rohan. All of the Supers have powers: Eric and Clay are Super Strong, Bud is Super Stinky, Mollie is Super Fast, Louisa is Super Light, Rose is Invisible. Eric and Mollie are the only Supers that can fly. Someone has mysteriously been zapping the Supers' powers and memories that they ever had powers when they turn thirteen. Daniel and the Supers (Eric, Clay, Bud, Mollie, Louisa, Rose, and Rohan) have to defeat this mysterious thing before all of the Supers' powers get zapped!
