Superpowerless

The author could have created a teen hero who was, well, just that, a hero, the perfect guy in every respect, but David with all his flaws is far nearer to a real teenager, someone that readers can empathise with, and maybe it will give female readers an insight into that most mysterious of places, a teenage boy's mind. * Our Book Reviews *
when David finally learns to separate fantasy from reality, it's deeply moving. * Financial Times *
Raw and compelling with these fantastic (I seriously can't get enough of them) illustrations woven in, Superpowerless is a touching story about a boy who tries to move on from tragedy, but is held back by a secret. With fantastic and complex characters tied into an enthralling narrative, Chris Priestley's latest novel is remarkable. * Confessions of a Readaholic *

Superpowerless is one of the most original and extraordinary Young Adult novels we've read in a long time. It is wonderfully written, dark and powerful.
