    Synopsis

    It has been ten years since the great battle that wiped out all the superhumans. Whether they all died that day or simply lost their powers and blended back into society, only one thing is certain: They are gone. Or are they? Thirteen-year-olds Danny and Colin have recently begun changing. How can they explain Danny's newfound ability to move at the speed of light, or Colin's surprising strength? They can't, but their parents-the lost generation of superhumans-can. They have been watching and waiting for these changes. So have others-and not everyone is happy about the boys' new powers. Some will do anything to stop them.

    Michael Carroll delivers an action-packed story in the tradition of the Alex Rider Adventures and the X-Men, with enough twists and intrigue to keep the pages flying by.

    This is classed as Young Reader, but I'd put it into Teen.by Jilseponie

    November 22, 2008: Action packed, 'The Awakening' starts in a world where there used to be superheroes and supervillains until 10 years prior when they all disappeared except for three, two brothers and their sister. But now, two young boys discover the truth: their parents were once superheroes, but had lost their powers. AND the boys aren't having growing pains, they're developing their powers that were genetically passed down. A little bit of swearing and a more adult feel than I was expecting in a Young Reader book. I am definitely intrigued and am eager to continue the series.

    I Also Recommend: The Supernaturalist.
