Über diesen Titel

I did have fantastic hearing, mostly by virtue of being blind. But that couldn't actually mean that he's trying to tell me I have super powers, right? Because that would be ridiculous.

It wasn't the "sex talk" he expected. Phillip Sallinger's dad has told him he's a custodian - a guardian - and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. He'll learn to move objects with his mind. He's excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a "special ed" class for disabled empowered kids; he suddenly feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip struggles, even as he and his friends - calling themselves the Ables - find ways to maximize their powers to overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the growing evil threatening humanity. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is mired in indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip, and the enemy is poised to strike. But what if the next "one who does all," the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables?

The Ables is a fast-paced, captivating debut novel from Jeremy Scott, a bold, new voice in fantasy and science fiction.

Superhero highschool, for once with disabled kids. Awesome. Wild abilities, crazy inventions, quirky characters, and silly accidents. Epic battles and wrecked cities. This could be the usual light fun. Not this time. The series is quickly getting dark, with a realistic description of the mental impact of the death of other heros, and societies' backlash to so much destruction.
One star off because the main character is just too serious, with more somber introspection than most adults, not to speak of 12 year old kids.

Superhero fun? Not this time
