jinnyshollow 's review for:

The Ables by Jeremy Scott
5.0

OH EM GEE THIS BOOK!

description

(Okay.. I just needed to get that out.)

The premise of the book is that there really are superheroes in the world, that go by the term custodians. And the main character, Phillip Sallinger, has superpowers but is also blind, therefore having to overcome his blindness to be able to use his superpower. The book starts with him going to school and building a team with his other disabled superhero friends and just goes on from there… (I’m trying to avoid spoilers here.)

STOP READING HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T READ YET!

So the team, which call themselves the Ables after a legendary team of superheroes, join a hero simulation at their school, but while on the simulation they witness a true villain breaking into the public library. (THE PUBLIC LIBRARY??) And they try to find out what happens and BAM! he gets in the way of that! But who could he be?!? (Seriously, it’s probably you who think it will be but you should still read to find out because HOLY TOLEDO, BATMAN! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD TWIST!)

And what is the super-villain after?! Well…. the reincarnation of the superhero equivalent of an all powerful god (part of the original Ables legend.) Le duh. You didn’t see that coming?! (Neither did I.)

How do Phillip and his friends stop the super-villain and save the town? Read and find out! :)
