Mount Olympus Sized Family Expectation.
Eric Searleman, Superhero Novels
For five years, Dan Galkin has done everything he can to live an ordinary life.
Nobody knows that he is the grandson of the Mad Russian, one of the world's most notorious supervillains. Nobody knows that Dan has inherited a power of his own. He can absorb, control and unleash electricity with his mind.
Keeping his secret is easy until the Mad Russian comes back.
He wants Dan to become his heir. Suddenly, the quiet life Dan has worked so hard to build is turned upside down.
Then there is Miranda Brody.
She has everything she once dreamed of. Hit records, fame, money and an entourage of people telling her what to do. But somewhere along the way, Miranda has lost sight of who she really is.
When she gets caught in the middle of the battle between Dan and his grandfather, staying alive becomes more important than staying famous.
And falling for the mysterious pizza boy is definitely not part of the plan.
Dan and Miranda soon discover that being defined by other people's expectations does not mean they have to accept them.
But with a supervillain determined to claim his heir, a pop star trying to find herself again, and enough electricity to bring down a city, things are about to get very complicated.
Sometimes the hardest thing is deciding who you really want to be.
What readers are sayingBut even in the extraordinary events and battles, there's always at its core questions about human nature. Dan isn't a god with the powers to control lightning. He's a kid who's trying to pull away from the expectations of those around him and to forge a life for himself. Readers can identify with that conflict between a kid and his reputation, even if they can't really grasp what it would be like to control the electrical world like Dan does.
