About the book...
Templeton Academy, the superhero high school, is finally open!
The prestigious academy is recruiting the best of the best to enroll in its student body. The school is as mysterious as it is exclusive. Grady Whill thinks there is nothing special about him to make the grade. However, his best friend, Aarush Patel has been selected and thinks Grady has the right stuff. Even school bully, Elwood Bledsoe is attending.
If Grady is fortunate enough to be picked, his guardian has forbidden him to attend. Will a family secret prevent Grady from becoming the superhero he was destined to be?

Looking for a book that packs a punch?
Looking for a story that may be out of this world, but is still ultimately relateable?
Looking for a tale that entertains while still imparting messages that echo across the generation gap?
Want to pick up a new series starter that will keep you coming back for more?
If you answered yes to any of the above, strap in...this is the book for you!
I've had experience with this author's previous works, so I had a few expectations, some of which I mentioned in those above intro questions, and they were all answered in the positive. She's known for bringing scenes to life, giving characters that something extra to pull you closer, bringing the action and entertainment, but also getting to the heart of it all. For Grady, it was all about family, both of blood and chosen. His friends were his lifeline, their closeness keeping him grounded, while their challenges gave him something to focus on because he was a doer, not a watcher. His family history...well, let's just say it's about to get a little more complicated than he may realize, but he'll have enough going on for it to be a side note...for now. Speaking of things going on , the new school...AMAZING...but, much like a certain Jurassic type theme park, it presented it's own set of challenges. Were the "attractions" trying to eat him? Not exactly, but they didn't want to leave him alive either...especially after he uncovers...certain things (keeping the mystery alive here folks!). In the end, or at least for the time being, it's the lessons that he's been taught his whole life that get him closer to overcoming the challenge before him. Do not fear failure. Failure makes us stronger. Failure makes us smarter. Failure is good. They may be hard to swallow, but think about it...without failure, we'd never LEARN, or experience true success...and that's just one of many life lessons you'll uncover.
So, come for the adventure, come for the super power filled school, come for the chance to live out your hero-type dreams and save the world...but stay for the friendships, the wisdom imparted, and the chance to kick some villain butt!
