My name is John Black. I used to be your typical nerd, a total weakling, letting bullies like Bobby Graden push me around. Then one day, Bobby and I got hit by a car. Somehow, the accident changed us, as if something inside us responded. It made us strong. More than strong, actually. It gave us power.

That power brought us together, our shared secret creating a friendship despite our differences. Bobby and I could do things no one else could, and it was exhilarating, fun.

Until the day we found out we weren’t alone.

And that, for others, power can be deadly serious.

Readers' Favorite Review: 4 stars

BookNoseRose: 5 stars: "...amazing talent for taking the everyday mundane and making it a fantastical adventure; and weaving character stories together in such simple but profound ways, you won't want to put the book down."

Reader Reviews
"This series has a touch of drama, some mystery, a good measure of science fiction, and several levels of allegory. The characters are flawed and feel real despite their superhuman feats."

"Suspense right to the last paragraph."
