A twist on the classic super hero story
This is an interesting in-depth look at a Hero Certification Program and how young Supers become full-fledged Heroes. Gifted with incredible powers, the Supers have to complete 4 years of rigorous training to be allowed an internship under an existing Hero.

The Powereds, on the other hand, have to be contained and avoided--they have no control over their abilities. And that's fine if your ability is, say, shooting water out of your fingers... But what if you control the flow of gravity, or absorb electricity?

When a mysterious treatment turns 5 Powereds into Supers, you can bet there is chaos, mischief, and at least a little destruction to boot!

I loved this book because it was well-written, with interesting and deep characters. There are no Mary Sues here, and even the professors become real as opposed to just static authority figures.

Additionally. I bought this book for Kindle for $4, and it's like 700 pages long. Can't beat that price!

I reccommend this book to everyone!

The movie is better
So the 10 yr old in me (who never finished the book) would have rated this a one. That's unfair however, because it would have only been based on the fact that it was sort of like the movie, and there was none of the movies mysticism. (I still want to know what that dang red stone is all about.)
 That being said the older and mature me rated it a 6 because about 30 pages of interesting history about the Rats of NIMH, were mostly unneeded summary. I realize that the book is meant for young audiences I also gave points off for overly explaining an object or idea. ex: "tin foil (or aluminum foil)" this happens frequently. For a book about animal testing and super intelligent rats, I guess the author could have a point.
This is a good book for young readers that wants to read something that isn't overly scary that has male and female heroes.
The story itself is good. I may never read this book again, although I will recommend it.
