From the renowned author/illustrator of the Popularity Papers series*,*
Amy Ignatow, comes the first installment in a new series about a diverse
crew of middle school kids who develop very limited superhero powers
after a strange accident and manage to become unlikely friends on the
adventure of a lifetime.
When a sweet nerd, an artsy cartoonist, a social outcast, and the most
popular girl in school are involved in a mysterious bus accident, this
seemingly random group of kids starts to notice some very strange
abilities they did not have before. Artsy Martina can change her eye
color. Nerdy Nick can teleport . . . four inches to the left. Outcast
Farshad develops super strength, but only in his thumbs. And Cookie, the
It Girl of school's most popular clique, has suddenly developed the
ability to read minds . . . when those minds are thinking about
directions. They are oddly mighty--especially together.
This group--who would never hang out under normal circumstances--must
now combine all of their strengths to figure out what happened during
the bus accident. With alternating narratives from each of the heroes,
including illustrated pieces from Martina, and featuring bold female
superheroes and a multicultural cast, The Mighty Odds is The
Breakfast Club for a new generation.
