"According to the rules of the school for Underage Power Enhancement and Refinement (SUPER), Slip has to pass his final test by the end of this year or he must retire into a life as a Norm, someone without any powers. He spends his senior years studying with five other adjective would-be Supers. They must learn to work as a team and to overcome their watered-down powers if they are goiing to make it in the world of Superheros. Meanwhile, strange things are happening in the Super world. A mysterious villain has set up base next to the school and famous, powerful Supers seem to be turning evil. Slip and his team must take matters into their own hands to protect the ones they love. Will they be able to save the world?" (I copied this off the back of the book.) This is not like all the other super hero stories. This one is different. The characters are so relatable. The emotions are so real that you feel like you are actually there watching the scenes happen. The villains are outstanding. The plot twists are unexpected and this story is so amazing and well-created. I love the book! The author did such a wonderful job. I like it so much that I stay up at night just waiting to see what happens next. It's not one of those stories that is very predictable. The plot twists are shocking. When you first open the book it's not super boring.
