Brad Baron is used to looking lame compared to his older brother, Blake.
Though Brad's basically a genius, Blake is a superhero in the elite
Justice Force. And Brad doesn't measure up at his high school, either,
where powers like super-strength and flying are the norm. So when Brad
makes friends who are more into political action than weight lifting,
he's happy to join a new crew-especially since it means spending more
time with Layla, a girl who may or may not have a totally illegal,
totally secret super-power. And with her help, Brad begins to hone a
dangerous new power of his own.
But when they're pulled into a web of nefarious criminals, high-stakes
battles, and startling family secrets, Brad must choose which side he's
on. And once he does, there's no turning back.
Perfect for fans of The Avengers, Ironman, and classic comic books, V is
for Villain reveals that it's good to be bad.
Praise for RED MOON RISING:
2011 Nominee for YALSA Teens' Top Ten pick
"The details are imaginative and believable, as are the social
interactions at school and in Danny's home. This is a nifty book to pair
with discussions about race and class, and a few direct references to
Nazis also make it potentially useful for history connections."
-"Booklist"
"Moore tackles important issues such as self-esteem,
prejudice/discrimination, loyalty, and acceptance, all woven into a teen
paranormal adventure drama Fans of the genre will enjoy this different
spin on the supernatural." -"School Library Journal"
"Moore ably keeps this novel from becoming simply social commentary by
allowing Danny, a kid far more concerned with his new love, his future,
and his newly found wulf strength than what he might represent in larger
society, to narrate his own transformative experience." -"The Bulletin
of the Center for Children's Books"
