What do you do if you can deadlift a car, and you spend your nights flying to get away from it all? If youÂ’re fifteen-year-old Avery Pirzwick, you keep that information to yourself. When youÂ’re a former jock turned freak, you canÂ’t afford to let the secret slip.

But then Avery makes some friends who are as extraordinary as he is. He realizes they’re more than just freaks—together, maybe they have a chance to be heroes. First, though, they have to decide whether to trust the mysterious Cherchette, a powerful wouldbe mentor whose remarkable generosity may come at a terrible price.
