Bobby Beacon isn't an ordinary kid, he has superpowers. The only problem is that he has trouble controlling his powers, so he has to go to a new school. Unfortunately, at first, it seems that he will experience the same problems as before. Why don't adults understand him? Luckily he gets a new teacher, Miss Brooklyn, who sees him for what he really is. When the school comes under attack, it will be up to Bobby to save the school.
I liked the message that this book conveyed. It teaches kids to be themselves, be in control of your emotions, and to stand up for what is right. It kept my attention and I enjoyed it.
