5.0 out of 5 starsA Rollicking Adventure Yarn
By KidsReads on November 30, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Have you ever played a game where you choose which super power you'd like to possess? Have you ever imagined what it might be like to fly at the speed of sound, walk through walls, lift up cars, or create electricity with your bare hands? What would you do if you woke up one morning and were actually able to do one or more of those things? And what would you do if you had always had those powers and woke up one morning without them?

That's kind of what happens to the kids of Noble's Green, Pennsylvania, the self-proclaimed "Safest Town on Earth." Part of why Noble's Green is so famously safe is that all of its residents under the age of 13 have one or more super powers. Some are terrifically strong or fast, several can fly, others can disappear, and still others have superhuman senses. When a house starts on fire or a car drives off a bridge, the kids are on the scene, ready to save the day however they can.

Having super powers is a blast: flying is a total thrill, and the games of hide-and-seek are taken to a whole new level. So it's especially sad that, on the night of each young superhero's 13th birthday, his or her powers --- and memories of ever having them --- are sucked away forever. Why do the kids of Noble's Green have these powers? And why do they disappear faster than a speeding bullet? These are mysteries that are beyond even the powers of the super kids.

Help comes from the unexpected source of decidedly un-super Daniel Corrigan. Daniel and his family move to Noble's Green to be with his grandmother while she's dying from cancer.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars"Super" YA Fantasy (First book)
By Wulfstan TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on March 4, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat from Start to Finish
By Michael Kelton on November 6, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I picked up this book because I had seen some raves about it on [...]. So my expectations were high. Did "Powerless" let me down? NOT AT ALL. So much fun, so clever. And I am not a comic book person but this book was so truly entertaining, it didn't matter. I am planning to read it a second time this weekend--something I almost never do.

I hope this author keeps churning them out. Can't wait for his next book.

5.0 out of 5 starsCourtesy of Teens Read Too
By TeensReadToo on April 15, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Daniel can't help noticing some of the kids in his new town are a little... unusual. The girl across the street sometimes moves faster than he can see. The school bully can throw kids twelve feet in the air. And his classmate, Eric, always seems to know where there's trouble.

After a near fatal fall, Daniel's friends let him in on their secret - they have superpowers. It's been happening in the town for generations, a fact carefully kept secret thanks to a series of rules, including the one that none of them likes to think about: it ends at thirteen. When the superkids reach their thirteenth birthdays, the next morning they have lost their powers, and forgotten they ever had them.

Daniel can't help but feel something isn't right about this. But his investigations into the mystery of the superpowers will put both him and his friends in danger, and uncover a history he never could have imagined.

POWERLESS is a fun, fast-paced read, with a courageous and likable main character in Daniel. It's refreshing to read a story in which the protagonist isn't the super-special one, and Daniel proves that you don't need superpowers to be a hero. The supporting characters are quirky, but have depth as well, and the villain is effectively creepy. The twists along the way will keep readers guessing right up until the end. The end itself is satisfying, but leaves a few questions unanswered.

This reviewer hopes there is a sequel in Daniel's future! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsFabulous Book
By L. Correnti on January 11, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsBuy it! This is a wonderful book!
By K. Rodriguez on December 12, 2012
Format: Hardcover
I read this book to my two sons (3 and 6 years). It took us about a month to read yet both of them were captivated by the story and begged for me to read on every time a chapter came to an end. My older son, now that a year has passed, often requests a reread. Both my sons seemed excited by the idea of kids with super powers. In fact, I caught them several times playing and pretending to be characters from the book, "You be Eric and I'll be Daniel!"

My older son and I loved the mystery that unfolded and I loved the fact that there were strong girl heros as well as boys. I really looked forward to reading it nightly. At times, I worried that the story was a bit frightening, yet still my children begged for me to read on. I am getting the sequel for my son for Christmas. Can't wait to read it to him.
