All Elliot wants for his twelfth birthday is to be a superhero like everyone else in his family (even the dog has super powers). But no such luck. Looks like he’s stuck being an ordinary kid struggling through middle school. Everything changes when he meets a girl who believes he is the key to finding a mysterious, powerful orb. Now the fate of the world is in his hands, and he has the chance to prove he is more than just a zero.

What I liked: fun characters! Elliot is a relatable kid, flaws and all, who really just wants to fit in. The plot is fun and there is lots of action to keep readers turning the pages.

What I didn’t like: not much. It was a tad slow at the beginning, but the action picked up very quickly.

Super fun read!

5 out of 5 stars ( )

First off let me say that I am far from the intended audience for this book. But I do read some YA and superheros always intrigue me.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! The story of a teenager from a family of superheros finds it impossible to fit in when he himself is powerless. An EPIC ZERO!

Every time he attempts to fit in; he fails. Is their no hope?

Well written, the story simple but a bit twisted (not what I expected) and fun to read. I was drawn in almost at once and could not put the book down.

I recommend this book to any reader who loves superheros, action, intrigue and a bit of humor. It is totally appropriate for a middle school audience and will keep you turning the pages until the end.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a honest review. ( )
