Zach's dad was rarely home. Always on trips, trying to save the world, protect the president of the United States. But in the end, he could not even save himself.
Then Zach discovers that he has superpowers. Apparently he inherited them from his dad. Now it is up to him to save the world from the "Bads".
This book is very exciting and kept me turning pages until I finished it. It, however, left me unsatisfied. I felt like I had more questions than answers when I closed the book. It felt unfinished. Large portions of the book dealt with Zach trying to figure out which person was lying, what exactly was happening to him and how his dad died. I wanted answers quickly and then for the story to move onto to him fighting the "Bads".
I read online that there may be a sequel but that was four years ago that Mr. Lupica stated the possibility.
I think most readers will love this book so I recommend it to late elementary/junior high students. Zach is also admirable character.
Guided Reading Level: W (6th grade)
Grade Level Equivalent: 4.5
**Perfect for reluctant boy readers-reading level is lower but not a babyish book.
I borrowed this book from the library.
Points to discuss/warnings: a boy in his class bullies him a bit in the beginning, Zach deals with death of dad, some fights against other people with superpowers.
