The Ables by Jeremy Scott
5.0
This is a book that I just stumbled across and decided to give a chance - what a fun and surprising find! I listened to this as an audio-book and the narrator really made the characters come to life.
This is a fun coming of age novel about a kid, Phillip, who has exceptional genetic abilities (i.e. super powers), but who also happens to have a physical disability. Philip and his family are new to town, and he soon meets friends in his 'special education' class full of other disabled kids with super powers. An eclectic gang of kids band together to support one another and have a great time learning about their powers in the process.
A fast paced and intriguing story of budding friendship that explores what it means to be abled (and who gets to decide what that means). With many twists and turns - it will keep you hooked till the very end!
