Summary: Sixteen-year-old Leah
Taymore, able to manipulate atoms, is admitted to Liberty Vocational, a private
college for budding superheroes to learn their craft. But it seems that no
matter what she tries her hand at, disaster is the only result, from turning
the lawn to cement or flooding the campus bathrooms. Is something wrong with
her powers – or is she being sabotaged? After a project goes wrong and injuries
a friend, Leah wonders if she can ever do anything right. She is sidelined by
the school, even when a river threatens to flood the area – but there’s nothing
like lives at stake to bring out the best in anyone.
Reality Check: It was a light and
enjoyable read. The art is simple and pleasant, the story interesting, and the
characters are fun to follow. It reminded me of Amy Reeder’s Fool’s Gold (although the stories have
nothing in common).
Conclusion: I would recommend it,
and if the library gets any more volumes I will definitely read them.
