A geeky high schooler develops superpowers and is recruited to an international peacekeeping unit at the same time as he's struggling with mental health problems.

Gonzalo Lopez, nicknamed "Weakling" by his bullies, is just a normal teenager, except that he has superpowers. Ever since that fight with Bill Jackson where his powers first manifested and he broke his attacker’s hand by accident, everything has been spiraling out of control. Now, all of a sudden, he’s getting invited to parties, his psychiatrist’s started dating his mom, and at least two different international organizations are trying to hunt him down.

Then there’s Ali—the new girl at school, the only other person who believes any of this is happening to him, who seems to be hiding a secret of her own. Is she really his friend like she says she is, or does she have some sort of ulterior motive for being so nice to him all the time? Should he tell her about Miracle Force, the superpowered United Nations peacekeeping unit he’s just been recruited to? And when this is all happening so fast how is he going to keep his head together?

I am well past the age group this book is probably targeted to, but I really enjoyed it. It broke my heart and then left it shimmering with hope.

This book sensitively touched some very real issues that teenagers deal with, including mental health challenges, PTSD and bullying. While it used extremes to make a point, particularly with the incidents of bullying, I don't think it was exaggerated or patronizing in its delivery. It did, however, break my heart and make me wish I could reach into the pages of this book and hug the protagonist.

I don't want to risk spoiling this audiobook but I will say two things: 1. the narration is beautifully executed, and 2. the book ends with a hopeful and positive resolution to all the issues. (Thank goodness!!)

This audiobook was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Just Wow!

A story about a 'weakling' who gets revenge on the bullies by developing super powers.

A fun, fast paced adventure that twists and turns right up to the jaw dropping climax

Entertaining and nicely narrated

Fun and twisty

Really enjoyed this story. I like the ending of the bully getting his come-uppance and the gentle way the mental health issues were dealt with. The complexity was dealt with in an age appropriate way. Well done to the author.

Excellent
