I actually liked it better after discussion. The children of certain descendents in Noble's Green, PA have super powers -- some can fly, some have super-strength, some can become invisible. Most of them delight in these powers and use them for "good" as the official rules handed down by generations require them to do. However, these powers disappear when they turn 13 and they have no recollection of them and fade into the "normal" ordinary population of the town. When 12-yr old Daniel and his toddler brother Georgie move to town with their parents to take care of their sick Gram, the "Supers" (Mollie, Eric, Rohan, Louisa and Rose) and their secret rope him into friendships and history. Daniel has great detective skills and he brings these to bear on why kids lose their power. He discovers the evil Shroud, unknown nemesis of the Supers as well as the history of the super powers. He demonstrates hidden powers of his own: bravery and loyalty and he saves his new friends from loss. A sweet commentary on the innocence of childhood and the changes that occur as adolescence looms. Anyone who enjoys comic books and superheroes will be captivated by Powerless by Matthew Cody. Daniel is a character that I could easily relate to because he reads mysteries and likes to gather clues. He is also a good friend and easy to get along with throughout the story. I kept wondering how I would feel if all of my friends had superpowers and I was just ordinary. Would I be jealous? This was a fast read because the story takes off right from the first chapter. Once the mystery begins to unravel there is danger and clues to sort out. The kids of Noble’s Green are unique and fun. This is a great book for people ages 8 and up. The way the story ended made me think that there could be another book or maybe this is the start of a series. Though the story is all tied up at the end, some things happen in the last few pages that made me wonder if we would hear more about these superheroes. Start reading and see if you can crack the case and figure out what is going on in Noble’s Green. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
