    In these hilarious stories by some of the top authors of middle grade fiction today, each young character is coping with a minor superpower—while also discovering their power to change themselves and their community, find their voice, and celebrate what makes them unique. 
Everyone knows that superheroes are supposed to have awesome powers like strength or invisibility or flight. But what happens when you’re a mostly regular kid . . . who’s just a little bit super? 
In these hilarious and thought-provoking stories from today’s top middle grade authors, a group of kids are each coping with a recently discovered minor superpower. One can shape-shift—but only part of her body, and only on Mondays. Another can always tell when an avocado is perfectly ripe. One can even hear the thoughts of animals in the pet store—which can be about as heart-tugging as you might imagine. It’s hard enough to be in middle school even without some weird ability, but these kids not only find their way to owning their unique powers and potential, they use them to change things for the better . . . and getting there with them is half the fun! 
These playful tales prompt readers to consider what their own superpower might be, and how they can use it. 
""Award-winning contributors keep delightfully inclusive and accomplished company in this emotionally grounded, compassionate collection. . . . These are not your run-of-the-mill, cape-and-tights-clad superheroes. These are kids with relatable struggles learning to embrace that quirky bit of themselves that makes them unique."" —ALA Booklist (starred review)

    BLAST OFF INTO A ROBOTIC ADVENTURE! 
Eleven-year-old inventor Luca Marino's bedroom isn't just messy—it's a playground of half-built gadgets, rogue pizza drones, and a sassy A.I. named Axel Ion who lives in his wristwatch.  
But when Axel yearns to experience the world beyond circuits, Luca takes on his wildest project yet: building Axel a body. Not just any body—a glorious robot crafted from a superhero lunchbox (head), ruler arms (for epic high-fives), skateboard wheels (for chaotic zoomies), and a flashlight heart that glows when Axel tells his very bad jokes. Oh, and glitter. So. Much. Glitter. 
Together, this unlikely duo crashes through laugh-out-loud disasters: pancake batter tornadoes, squirrel showdowns with the grumpy Sir Nutkins, and midnight chases with Bolt, a rusty robot dog with a secret tied to a sinister tech corporation.  
But when Axel's homemade heroics put him in the crosshairs of NexTech—a company bent on erasing free-thinking machines—Luca must risk everything to prove that friendship isn't coded in wires… it's built with duct tape, courage, and a little sparkly chaos. 
Packed with humor, heart, and STEM-fueled creativity, Luca & A.I. The Robot Chronicles is a fun and full of spirit adventure about embracing imperfections, outsmarting bullies (robot and human), and discovering that true heroes come in lunchbox-shaped packages.
