Narration Supposing Books Powerless (Supers of Noble's Green #1)
Superheroes soar in this promising debut—and they’re kids!Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his nice—but odd—new friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but they’re haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappear—along with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers?
The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War II–era comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, and—possibly, unbelievably—“powerless” regular-kid Daniel himself.
Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero.

Josh and Brianna had read this series and really loved it so I decided to join them in the fun. I love being able to discuss the things they are reading with them. This was a cute book where the new kid in town is the only one of his new friends that doesn't have powers.Pretty good. The idea of losing your memory along with your powers was pretty interesting. Also, to future me: Since I finished this book, I finished all the BOB books! It was very painful reading boring all the BOB books, but I made it. Now I can finally read what I want to read... The entire list took me 4 months.
The following is a Book Review that my 5th grade class helped me write:Its difficult enough moving to a new town! However, moving to a new town filled with mysterious kids, who are trying to hide superpowers, is exceptionally difficult!! Powerless is a science fiction story set in the town of Nobles Green, the safest place on earth. It is written by Matthew Cody, and it pulls you into a mystery where you are always wondering - what will happen next? The main character in this story is Daniel.
I just got done reading Powerless by Matthew Cody, which is a realistic fiction book. It was published in 2009. My protagonist name is Daniel he is twelve him and his family just moved to live with his grandma that isn't doing so well. In Daniels new school he meets some new friends, now these new friends aren't really normal. These friends have powers one flies one controls electricity and the other can go invisible. Daniel ends up getting powers but the twist is when you turn thirteen you lose
On a recommendation of a friend, my husband read this book, then passed it to my son, who devoured it in two evenings. They both enjoyed it, and I wanted in on the fun. I quickly became invested in the characters' struggles and couldn't wait to see what happened next. I'm looking forward to the sequel, once Jesse is done with it!
This is one of the best books that I have read this year. After reading it, I passed it to my son who read it, and then my wife read it. We all thought that it was a great read. Full of suspense, plot twists and just plain fun.
Young adult book about a town of kids with super powers that they lose on their 13th birthday. I liked this book because it is different. In a sea of so many predictable books written for young adults, this one is definitely one that stands out.
