Powerless
By Matthew Cody
Page 148 - 277
The book I am currently reading is Powerless, by Matthew Cody. This takes place in a quite simple town named Noble Green. This town claims that it is the safest town on Earth. Daniel, being all moody, complains that it is too good to be true, but that is in only the beginning. Daniel shows adventurous, loyal, and determined type of character later in the book.
Surprisingly, the conflict is not from the main character, it is actually from other characters. Those characters are super-humans with unnatural abilities. Once they turn thirteen, their superpower is gone. These super-humans need Daniel's help to get to the bottom of this. For that, this book gives an exciting mood to add on to the story.
One of the themes the book gives is one of the inspiring ones, to be honest. The theme is, You don't need powers to be a hero. So, the author is trying to teach the reader that even though you don't have the ability to fly, or able to walk through walls, you can still help citizens no matter what. Daniel is the perfect example for this theme.
When I saw this book, I did not realize how amazing the book can be. I sort of judged the book by its cover in a way since I thought it was a comic book. Once you start reading, you instantly get interested and keep on going. It is different, yeah, it's different, which makes it unique, out of the ordinary, which is why I love this book.
What I remember the most about this book is when Daniel witnessed a superhero's power got lost. This made Daniel see this character in a different way and made me remember this part so much.
I recommend this book to someone who really does not believe in comic books. Why I feel they do not like comic books is because they can be too graphic, too easy, or just a quick story that can easily be read in one sit. This book is less of a comic book and more of a novel. That is why I recommend this book to those selected readers.
You should go and read this book. You will be surprised how this author brought the elements of a comic book into a real, chapter book. You can see how each character treats each other clearly and how they act (with each other). You should (also) go get this book because there are superheroes! If you are interested in superheroes and too old for the old comics, go ahead and get this book.
