A loving grandfather discovers he has supernatural powers similar to those of kabbalistic masters of the past. He employs his special abilities to assist his grandchildren to cope with difficulties that beset them through no fault of their own. These include an unappreciative teacher, a stolen bike, cramping during sporting events, and a basketball opponent who is much too tall and skilled for his league. While the story reveals many aspects of Jewish mysticism, the problems the children encounter are those common to many twenty-first-century kids. The grandfather offers age-old remedies for modern predicaments.

Superheroes soar in this promising debut—and they’re kids! Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his nice—but odd—new friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but they’re haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappear—along with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers? The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War II–era comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, and—possibly, unbelievably—“powerless” regular-kid Daniel himself. Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero.
