Meet Amelia Louise McBride. She’s been forced to move out of Manhattan after her parents decided to get divorced, and is now living in a small town (who cares which one) with her mom and her aunt, Tanner. Not to mention the fact that she’s dealing with being the new kid in school, many trips to the principal’s office, first kisses, etc. But you know what? She’s got her friends Reggie, Rhonda, and Pajamaman, and everything’s going to be okay. Except, of course, when it isn’t. In Book 3, the members of G.A.S.P. (Gathering of Awesome Super Pals) embrace their inner superheroes, even if it means wearing underwear over their pants.

At four years old, David spends his days exploring with curious contemplation the vast wonders of the seemingly magical world around him. His only real care is wondering when his big brother, Robert, will be home from school to share it with him. His life is replete with typical childhood antics, joys and fears, and nightmares that wrack his sleep, but ultimately every morning, he knows a new adventure awaits. The divorce of their parents two years later sets in motion a chain of unforeseen events that bring David closer to his brother as a real-life nightmare unfolds. Alcoholism, tough financial times, and an archaic and draconian version of religion lead to physical, mental, and emotional abuse, and ultimately to abandonment. Seldom told are first-person perspectives from such a young age, but author David Faulkner's meticulous recall and witty but poignant narration capture the spirit of childhood and reveal the often dark realities of what goes on behind closed doors. Superheroes takes us on a compelling journey from innocence to awareness, from a carefree world to one of heartbreak and tragedy, and leaves no emotional stone unturned.

Bryn Davis loves reading comic books. Her favorite is Metamorphosis Man, a superhero who can change his appearance at will. She never dreamed about meeting him because she knew superheroes weren’t real. All that changes when she helps her best friend, Bree Blatchford, with a science experiment. Bryn cannot believe what is happening to her. As she is holding the test tube, Bree puts in the last ingredient. Suddenly, the mixture turns magenta and erupts straight into the air and comes down on Bryn. Her hair is suddenly changed from brown to shades of magenta. She quickly jumps into the emergency shower. When she comes out, her hair is the same magenta color. Her world is turned upside down when she begins to have strange dreams where she is teleported to another place and she meets one of the villains from her comic book and it seems, suddenly, she’s fighting bad guys. This brings her into the attention of the Super Heroes Overcoming Evil (S.H.O.E) and the comic book bad guy. This is not what she had planned for this school year. Bryn tries to keep her focus on school, her friends, and the yearly school carnival. Her crush, Justin, is working on the carnival committee with her. She helps with the carnival in the afternoon and then attends the S.H.O.E. Ball in the evening. Bad guy, Fedora Man, crashes the ball, having put some herbs into the food and drinks to temporarily take away their powers. The others are unable to help her as he kidnaps Magenta and now she is in a cage in a place where she has never been before. Since her powers are dulled, she has only her mask and her wits to get free and defeat the villain before she is unmasked.
