by Heather Nuhfer (Author), Simini Blocker (Illustrator)

The first book in a new middle grade series, Heather Nuhfer's My So-Called Superpowers is a quirky and funny coming-of-age novel celebrating individuality.

More than anything, Veronica McGowan wants to fit in with the cool kids. There's just one problem: they barely know she exists. Veronica wishes for something, anything to fix her nobody status--and gets more than she bargained for when she wakes up with "stupidpowers."

Suddenly, her strongest emotions come to life for the whole school to see. She belches fire when she's angry, dark clouds rain on her when she's sad, and cutesy hearts pop up whenever she daydreams about her crush. She's broadcasting her feelings likes living emojis--it's a nightmare!

Veronica and her best friend Charlie must work together to solve the mystery before her powers totally humiliate her. Did she inherit these powers from her mom, who left long ago? What can she really do with them? And is that teacher at school really just a teacher or is she part of some secret government agency?
