Thirteen Days to Midnight by Patrick Carman
If you could have only one superpower what would it be? Think about it because it's very important. This is Jakes question to the reader. He has a secret; he has a power. When his friends Ophelia and Milo accidentally discover his gift they start on a deadly adventure.
What seems like a regular superhero story is actually a well written look at the way people deal with death. The characters are all well formed and the plot is realistic. How would a person with a special gift really act? What would life really be like if you had a superpower?
This book is amazing. I loved it from start to finish. Patrick Carman is a genius! Think about what you would really do or or what your life would be like if you were indestructible. This book is a must read for anyone who loves comics and superheroes. If you never really understood what Uncle Ben meant when he said, "With great power comes great responsibility." you will understand by the time you get to the end of this book.
