A LITTLE BIT SUPER With Small Powers Come Big Problems

Gary Tiedemann and Greta Jung deftly portray the 13 middle schoolers with unique superpowers featured in these stories written by some of today's most popular authors. The diverse characters express themes of self-discovery and empathy, and the narrators fully embrace each role. Tiedemann, as Maximiliano, candidly describes time-jumping randomly into the bodies of others. Then Tiedemann becomes Corwin, a deeply concerned empath who is determined to help a classmate who is in emotional need. As Sophia, Greta Jung reflects upon stepping into the role of matchmaker, which her family has held for generations. Then Jung presents Gabby, an empathic advocate who refuses to allow unfairness to exist around her. The narrators make these stories engaging and accessible for the target audience.
