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 superpowersâand 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 dadâwhoâs been overprotective since Wyattâs mom disappearedâthinks heâs 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 Dadâs rules. Slowly, the two of them become a dynamic crime-fighting duo right under their dadâs nose.
Lying to his dad isnât much easier than lying to his friends. But Wyatt might be able to make a real difference in the communityâŠand maybe even find Mom. That makes it all worth itâright?
