Superhero Sweet 16
Overview
Jessie’s super hero notes:
Take it from me, here are the top things NOT to do on your sixteenth birthday:
- Drive your mother’s boyfriend’s sheriff car into the river.
- Accuse the team quarterback of setting the school on fire.
- Freak completely out when your boyfriend tries for second base.
- Tell the League of Liberty that super powers are so yesterday.
- Call your best friend’s boyfriend a slimeball.
- Explode your sadistic orthodontist’s drill —on purpose.
In spite of Grandma E coming back to town (and wonder what secrets she’s hiding?), a command appearance in front of the League to demonstrate my still-shaky control of my powers, the arsonist who keeps setting fires in my school and in my baby sister Chloe’s school, driving lessons, braces, and – euuwwww! – my mom actually dating, this could be the best sixteenth birthday ever!
If only I survive it.
