Thank you Melissa Taylor from Imagination Soup for connecting me to the author and for the copies.
My reviews:
Book 1
The Minor Miracle
Thank you author for the signed copy.
Contemporary, city superhero and villain to the style of Marvel and Spider-Man (which is the main character's present favorite hero, and he keeps the famous quote about responsibility near for the entire book).
Noah's uncle dropped him from a sixteen-story high building, and Noah survived. Although he continues to live an uneventful childhood when he hits puberty, he awakens a power. He is a Gravitas and can control gravitation, and he is not the only one. He needs to put some effort into secret training to control his power so that one day, when he is an adult, he can become an agent to protect all that is true, good, and beautiful. But he is impatient and sometimes acts like a vigilante (if other people notice this power, they will have their memory erased).
It's a fun, amazing trio of characters, well-balanced. They complement each other with humor and action adventure.
This is the first volume in a series, so Noah is not certain (yet) whom to trust. The Gravitas or his family. Is his uncle really the villain? Does he have an evil plan?
Because of his doubts, he keeps this information to himself, uncertain of which team to side with until it's almost too late.
Our heroes don't quite save the day completely at the end of book 1. There is a lot to learn and do as the villain gets stronger.
Perfect for superhero/action/adventure fans like Marvel and The Incredibles.
The three main characters: Noah is learning about a new power, Rodney has a wonderful innate talent for music (it's sad what happems to him), Haley excells at everything she puts her mind into.
Very fun city heroes series with illustrations.
Book 2 The Minor Rescue
If Noah had Spider-Man as his role model in Book One now, he would be deeply connected to The Hulk, and he can't let go of his anger. He should have done this and that in Book 1 to avoid his friends getting hurt, so now his uncle is getting even more dangerous, and he can't solve anything about it... yet. Memory and powers lost, confidence affected, teen anger boiling. This volume takes us to New York, visiting Noah's grandmother, trying to discover some lead to track down his uncle who has kidnapped many, many children. Is he trying to build his army of unstable and bully Gravitas? I loved this one as much as the first and looking forward to more. Great contemporary city superhero kids series. I love the chapter illustrations, too.
Thank you illustrator for adding the characters at the start with names and illustrations. This cast is larger and fun!
