All Elliott Harkness wants is to be a superhero, like his parents, older sister, and even his dog. But Elliott is a "zero"--which is super-speak for powerless. When he meets a mysterious girl, things change. She thinks he's the only one who can capture a mega-powerful, extraterrestrial orb before it falls into the wrong hands. But with menacing supervillains and globe-conquering aliens closing in fast, will Elliott find the power to be the epic hero he's always wanted to be? Or will he always be just an Epic Zero? Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Chapter Books is an imprint of Spotlight, a division of ABDO.
