Description

Superheroes soar in this promising debut—and they’re kids! Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his nice—but odd—new friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but they’re haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappear—along with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers? The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War II–era comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, and—possibly, unbelievably—“powerless” regular-kid Daniel himself. Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero. Read more

  • Reviewed by my 13 Year Old
Reviewed by my 13 year old- This book was REALLY good! I read it because it was on the Battle of the Books list for middle schoolers for the 2023/2024 school year. It has a good story line that kept me interested. I thought that the mystery within the book was interesting and made me want to keep reading. Although I'm dyslexic I found the print and writing easy to read and was especially happy with how smoothly the writer lead you through the plot. It was very easy to follow the events of the book and to understand the characters. ... show more

  • "Super" YA Fantasy (First book)
Powerless is the first book and Super is the second book of this delightful duology by Matthew Cody. The town of Nobles Green was visited by a mysterious glowing green meteorite many years ago. Since then, the children of that little town often get super-powers, only to lose them when they turn 13. Our protagonist, Daniel, is not a native to the little village, so has not super-powers, but quickly gets enmeshed into the fun, duties, trials and tribulations of being a Super- even when you're not old enough to stay up to watch the 10 o'clock news. Daniel does have a nose for mystery and some common sense, and these two abilities leads him to try and find out why his friends all lose their powers- and memories- when they hit thirteen. But Daniel is not prepared for the danger and deeper mysteries behind the truth. Fun & a nice fast read, suitable for any reader over nine, and fun for us older sorts, too. ... show more

  • Powerless is a clever middle-school read
Powerless, by Matthew Cody, is an excellent choice for a summer read or book report. The middle schooler is drawn in by the cartoon-style, primary colored cover art, and the contents of the book reinforce the choice. Mixing fantasy and reality, delving into the identity problems all kids experience without being preachy, Powerless uses the context of a family who must move and a grandparent who is in failing health, two situations that MANY kids must face. Of particular note is the "all families have problems, and many parents are imperfect" combination lesson. Current young adult fiction differs in this key aspect from former young adult classics, whos parental characters are often almost perfect. Parents, grandparents and teachers: pick up this intriguing novel and read it with your significant middle schooler! ... show more

  • Don’t Judge this Book by its Cover.
This book was assigned to my battle of the books group to read along with several other books and I happen to pick it up and read the back. I was hooked this book is full of mystery suspense and has several creepy moments. Prior to reading the back of the book, just buy the cover, I was not interested in it. The cover makes it look way more juvenile than the book actually is. It touches on themes like grief loss death, doing the right thing, and friendship. A lot of the kids really loved this book and I have bought it several times as gifts for my middle grade reading nieces and nephews ... show more

  • Potential Successor to the Potterverse
Matthew Cody has crafted a world that will appeal to young and old readers alike. As I was reading it (I enjoyed it so much I finished the book in one night)I was reminded of how the first Harry Potter book really hooked me by drawing me back to the bygone days of my youth. Who wouldn't have enjoyed growing up in magical world of wizards, witches, and monsters, or in Cody's equally interesting world of mysterious glowing meteorites, multiple secret generations of kid superheroes, and a diabolical supervillain?If you or your children enjoyed the Harry Potter books, I highly recommend Powerless. Powerless is a great stand alone story but Cody leaves ample hooks that could be developed into a very engaging series of stories over time. If you are younger and enjoy superheroes (or even older but still look back fondly on the days of running around the backyard with a towel cape tied to your neck)give this book a read. I doubt you will be disappointed. ... show more

  • Flying for good
This book is a really good book for 9-10. This book is amazing and so nice written and so many people love. This story is about flying mostly and you will learn about it more and more. Be shore to read the other two books of Daniel and his friends. This is a story that you will read over and over. You can't get your head out of the book. I hope you will give this book a shot.

  • Fabulous Book
Our children (boy - 10 and girl - 9) read the this book and the sequel in this series called "Super" and loved it. This was a book selected by our school district for "Battle of the Books". As a parent supervising a team, I read the book and found it to be well written and interesting enough for me to truly enjoy. Can't go wrong with this book! ... show more
