Like millions of other kids, Jim grew up wanting to be a superhero. Unlike most of his contemporaries, however, Jim actually had the goods: a plethora of super powers that would have been the envy of any meta on the planet. But when his tryout with the Alpha League - the world's premiere group of supers - goes disastrously wrong, Jim basically becomes an outcast.Two years later, Jim is still bitter about what happened to him. However, he soon finds himself the centerpiece in an odd turn of events that gives him a second chance at his dream. But nothing is as easy as it sounds, as Jim soon discovers. Among other things, he’s made an enemy of a prospective super teammate, he’s being stalked by an unknown pursuer, and a shadowy cabal bent on world domination has identified him as the only obstacle to their plans. It’s a lot for one super to handle, even with a smorgasbord of abilities. But if saving the world were easy, everyone would do it…teen & young adult, science fiction & fantasy, coming of age, superhero, paranormal & urban, magic, romance

"This book was one of the best I've read in a really long time! Well-written, unique action sequences, detailed explanations and world building, and I absolutely loved Jim! I would've given it five stars but it kind of bothered me that all the teens have a habit of using really old-fashioned language (e.g., "fisticuffs," "yoke," "the real McCoy"). If just Jim talked like that it would've been understandable, but Smokey? Ha!"
