Publisher's Synopsis
In this imaginative progression fantasy, when a small-town superhero heads to college, she'll have to juggle coursework, supervillains, and romance.
Anika DuPont just knows she's bound for stardom. As Magical Girl Understudy, she's already a big deal in her hometown, and now that she's eighteen, she's heading to Tokyexico University, where the real action is. Every superhero on Earth is jockeying for better roles in a global reality show created for the amusement of alien children, and Annie's trying to keep her secret identity hidden while she makes her way out of dead-end Little League roles.
On her own for the first time, Annie begins to settle into her new college routine. There's plenty of studying to do, parties to attend, friends to make, and supervillains to fight. And that's all in between leveling up for new skills awarded by the Style System in order to take her from kid stuff into the superhero minor leagues.
As she grows into her new powers-and her rivalry with her high school sweetheart/nemesis Peter aka Professor Panic intensifies-a new distraction enters stage right: Intro to Drama classmate Bianca, who's as talented and awkward as she is beautiful. Can Annie still make all her dreams of fame and fortune come true, or has this small-town super met her limits?
