After the Golden Age

Humankind will always be fascinated with the notion of super powers. The idea that average people, with average lives, have a secret potential to move mountains, manipulate the elements, and be a force for good in the world. This book is told from the perspective of Celia West, daughter of the fictional Commerce City's greatest superheroes. Unfortunately, she hasn't inherited any of her parents' powers, but she does discover that she can make her mark on the world with some resourcefulness and smarts of her own. While the plot is relatively simple and can mostly be predicted from the beginning, and I didn't care for the title, it's a fun read, with plenty of action and heart.

3 out of 5 stars
