About this eBook
Two brothers in a family of superheroes strive to be heroic despite their super-lame super-powers in this funny and heartwarming middle grade adventure.
On February 29th, at 4:23 p.m., everyone in the Bailey family over the age of twelve gets a superpower. No one knows why or how. All the Baileys know is that it's their duty to protect the world from those evil, supervillainous Johnsons. *shakes fists*
Today, Rafter Bailey and his brother Benny are finally going to get their superpowers. Benny wants to be a speedy, and Rafter hopes he gets his grandpa's superstrength. But when their powers arrive, they are—well—duds. Rafter can light matches on polyester, and Benny can turn his innie belly button into an outie.
How is Rafter supposed to defeat his algebra class nemesis, Juanita Johnson, now? And worse still, what if everything he thinks he knows about superheroes is a lie? He may not have an awesome power, but with the help of his wits and an unexpected friend, he could just be almost super.
