Publisher's Synopsis
Hailing from a long line of superheroes, 15-year-old Alex McKellan lacks a power of his own. While the people of Ashton, California celebrate his parents and sister, he's left to watch their exploits on the news, ignored. But when underhanded scientists trap his family in an attempt to extract their powers, it's his quick wits and resourcefulness that rescue them.
With a rogue Army colonel hunting the McKellans on the scientists' behalf, Alex finally gets the chance to prove that he can be a hero, too. When the game of cat and mouse shows no sign of stopping, however, he starts to wonder if intellect is enough--but soon, it's up to him alone to save his family. In this action-packed page-turner, Alex will test his strengths, confront his weaknesses, and question what it really means to be a hero. Can the boy with no powers find his place in the family legacy?
