A superpowered sequel to Matthew Cody’s popular debut novel, Powerless! Daniel Corrigan is as regular as can be, especially when compared to the Supers: kids in his new hometown with actual powers like flight and super-strength. But Daniel’s not powerless. Only he was able to stop the Shroud, a supervillain bent on stealing his newfound friends’ powers. And thanks to him, his friends got to keep those powers. Now Daniel himself is starting to display powers, while at the same time his friends are losing theirs. His friend Eric thinks Daniel is just becoming a Super himself, a late-blooming one. But Daniel worries there may be something more sinister at work, since his power-stealing ability is uncomfortably like the Shroud’s. Of course, the Shroud is gone now . . . isn't he? Or could Daniel himself be his new vessel?

"Can't give away the coolest part of this book, but I liked it more than Powerless. The last chapter was a bit confusing though...might have to reread Powerless to understand what was happening in the last chapter. Chapter 28 (2nd to last chapter) could've ended it for me!"

— Anjali, 4/18/2013" Def had high expectations for this and was a bit disappointed. Rougher ending than expected- begs another book in the series. I'll read it, but I'm not on pins and needles. "

— kill, 12/28/2012" It definitely set up well for a third installment. The middle part dragged and I needed to put it down for a while. I really enjoyed the turn of events at the end. "
