Books like Superpowers by David J. Schwartz
When a group of college students wakes to find their lives suddenly altered by superpowers—Harriet’s invisibility, Charlie’s mind‑reading, Caroline’s flight, Mary‑Beth’s super‑strength, and Jack’s speed—they hope to use their gifts for heroics. The novelty quickly clashes with reality, as the friends confront the complexities of their new abilities, the absence of clear villains to battle, and the fragile human side of their own powers. While trying to chart a path as costumed crime‑fighters, they are faced with the looming shadows of the historical events surrounding September 2001, adding urgency to their moral and personal dilemmas.
