A globetrotting novel that takes a determined teen from Japan to
Australia and to Argentina and Mexico on a quest to prove that humanity
is more good than bad from the author of Let's Get Lost and Before
Takeoff.
Isabel is having an existential crisis. She's three years into high
school, and everything she's learned has only shaken her faith in
humanity. Late one night, she finds herself drawn to a niche corner of
the internet--a forum whose members believe firmly in one thing: that
there are indeed people out in the world quietly performing impossible
acts of heroism. You might even call them supers. No, not in the comic
book sense--these are real people, just like each of us, but who happen
to have a power or two. If Isabel can find them, she reasons, she might
be able to prove to herself that humanity is more good than bad.
So, the day she turns 18, she sets off on a journey that will take her
from Japan to Australia, and from Argentina to Mexico, with many stops
along the way. She longs to prove one--*just one--*super exists to
restore her hope for the future.
Will she find what she's looking for? And how will she know
when--if--she does?
