11-21-08 The Awakening by Michael Carroll - Fiction

4 - This is classed as Young Reader (9-12), but I'd put it into Teen. Action packed, The Awakening starts in a world where there used to be superheroes and supervillains until 10 years prior when they all disappeared except for three, two brothers and their sister. But now, two young boys discover the truth: their parents were once superheroes, but had lost their powers. AND the boys aren't having growing pains, they're developing their powers that were genetically passed down. A little bit of swearing and a more adult feel than I was expecting in a Young Reader book. I am definitely intrigued and am eager to continue the series.
