(4) YA One series. In these unusual novels, teenager Odin (with considerable interference by his controlling, imaginary alter-ego, Wendell), narrates his conflicts in high school, the realization that he possesses superhuman abilities, his discovery of the truth about his adoptive parents, and more. While the prose (which includes profanity and sexual references) can be choppy, the series, with a surprise ending, is an intriguing look into the human mind. Review covers the following One titles: Activation, A Battle Within, Eden, The Machine, The Other Me, and Talk To Me.
