2nd in the series
Ben Braver is headed back to his second year at Kepler Academy, a superpower school, in a self-driving Volkswagen Beetle. Last year he saved the school from the worm eating clones and he is hoping this year proves to be a little more calm. He has not yet discovered his superpower yet, but his friend Noah can shoot fire after eating jerky, his friend Penny can control mice by playing her ukulele and so he feels like a failure. As the year progresses, he thinks things are going well, no problems, until the end and it seems to all blow up, literally.
Wow! What an action-packed adventure with a lovely twisty ending. Great set up for book 3. I had not read the first one and was fine just reading this one. Although I now want to go back and experience the first book. I will definitely be adding this series to my middle school library. Will be great for my fans of Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, Middle School, etc. I loved the characters and their growth, along with some level of a feeling of a Harry Potter type setting, but more futuristic with self-driving cars.
