Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova meets the HiLo series in this first
book in a funny, lighthearted new middle grade graphic novel series
about a boy struggling with new superpowers--and middle school.
Eleven-year-old Wyatt Flynn had something amazing happen to him: he
got superpowers! Good ones too, like super-flight, super-strength,
and super-speed. The only problem? Wyatt got his superpowers
totally by mistake, and his dad--who's been overprotective since
Wyatt's mom disappeared--thinks he's too young for them and worries
what would happen if everyone found out. So he makes Wyatt hide his
powers. Keeping such a huge secret from his best friends Beto and
Nara is bad enough, but not being able to use his new abilities to
defend them from the biggest bully at school makes Wyatt feel
useless and frustrated. But his little sister thinks the good his
powers could do is more important than following Dad's rules.
Slowly, the two of them become a dynamic crime-fighting duo right
under their dad's nose. Lying to his dad isn't much easier than
lying to his friends. But Wyatt might be able to make a real
difference in the community...and maybe even find Mom. That makes
it all worth it--right?
