About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in or is struggling to navigate the pressures of middle school social hierarchies. It is a perfect choice for the young reader who feels invisible but harbors a secret sense that they are capable of something extraordinary. The story follows a group of teenagers who discover they have developed incredible, superhuman abilities after a meteorite strike, forcing them to grapple with their new identities while being hunted by a mysterious organization. It explores themes of self-confidence, loyalty, and the importance of finding one's tribe during the volatile transition into adolescence. While the plot is fast-paced and action-heavy, it serves as a powerful metaphor for the internal changes and 'explosive' emotions kids experience at this age. Parents will appreciate how it frames being different as a source of strength rather than a deficit.
