The town of Noble's Green, famous for its superpowered teens, opens a boarding school overseen by superhero Johnny Noble. But a rash of vandalism implicates the Supers and creates ill will among the community, forcing their friend, regular kid Daniel, to solve the mystery. This final book (Powerless; Super) has lots of action, moral ambiguity, and familiar superhero tropes for comic-book enthusiasts.
