YA
When a man-made plague incapacitates the world's adults, a group of adolescent superheroes (plus one teenage con-man) takes on the organization that created the illness. The teens find themselves facing formidable opponents, including the resurrected first superhuman. Though the omniscient narrative voice is sometimes disorienting, Carroll creates a good balance of humor, adventure, and action.
