A Little Bit Super: With Small Powers Come Big Problems
Leah Henderson, Gary D. Schmidt
This collection contains fourteen short stories about middle-school protagonists with unusual but limited superpowers. In “Corwin the Empathic,” a boy who senses others’ emotions learns which classmate is deeply worried and reaches out through friendship. In “Shift,” a girl who can take on others’ traits changes her appearance to fit in during her first days of middle school, endangering a close friendship before recognizing the importance of being herself. Interstitial comics follow River, a young artist whose visions of children with powers lead her to draw them.
