Publisher's Synopsis
What do you do when the Jumbotrons in Times Square suddenly go on the fritz, Hoover Dam is about to explode, the stock market is melting down and robots are attacking cities...? And all you have between you and total chaos is a bunch of kids who have power over the elements but barely have power over themselves. The Power of the Elems is a fantasy adventure series about six kids who are born with power over the elements; technology, heat, cold, air, water and fire. They are in training to learn how to control themselves and how to work together to confront evil... In this book, The Mysterious Saboteur, the kids are well, kids! All kinds of things are going on that matter to kids. But they have mysterious powers and have to learn how to control their powers and how to take control of themselves, too. It's a rip-roaring exciting story with sudden turns of event, mysterious disasters and the kids, themselves, making leaps of discovery as they figure out how to work together and capture the evil villain who is vexing the world. The Mysterious Saboteur is an introduction to the kids; Brooke, Chil, Dust, Skye, Flare and Pixels and their teacher Mr. Cirrus and ETC, the training center with the strange name on the door "Electrical Tape Company." Author, Nina Randall, has tapped into something that adult writers never touch... What is the world like when powerful people like Superheroes are children? Randall has a keen insight into the world of children as they discover their hidden strengths and skills. Adult writers have forgotten what it is like to be a kid, but Randall reaches into the experience of kids and pulls out an adventure story like no other. Better than Percy Jackson, more fun than Harry Potter and a lot less morose than the Series of Unfortunate Events, the Power of the Elems will delight you. Oh, did I tell you? Author Nina Randall is 13 years old. Amazing book from an amazing kid. The artist for the cover art and interior images is Allison Simler.
