Â
What do you get when you mix a sci-fi nerd, a cartoonist, a social outcast, and the most popular girl in school with a mysterious bus crash? Some very specificâand mighty oddâsuperpowers.
Martina can change her eye color; Nick can teleport four inches to the left; Farshad can develop super strength, but only in his thumbs; and Cookie can read minds, when those minds are thinking about directions.
Â
Starring a diverse group of kids, this seriesâ multiple narrators make for a quirky, contemporary read that tackles identity and stereotypes. Praised widely, Ignatowâs characters have been called âvery realâ by the New York Times and âcompletely convincingâ by The New Yorker.
Â
âIgnatow turns on its head the classic middle school good kids-vs.-the populars/bullies trope . . . Hilarious and revealing, this series opener is a must-have.â âKirkus Reviews
