SUPER

Danny Corrigan is a boy who apparently does not have any superpowers, but he still is part of a club called “The Supers of Noble Green.” In SUPER, the follow-up to POWERLESS, about the super kids of this small town, Danny learns he does have a power: to borrow powers from others. Matthew Cody took a chance performing his own novel, but he quickly proves up to the challenge. From the fat bully with the power of super-stench to the slithering evil of the elderly Shroud, Cody brings all the characters to vivid life. His impression of a 6-year-old girl is a delight, and the speech patterns throughout fit the characters perfectly. Anyone who misses Harry Potter would feel right at home with Cody's super books.
