Zeroes - Book Challenge

Due on Dec 02 25 words minimum
INTRO: Scott Westerfeld has written many young adult fiction series including Midnighters, Peeps, Uglies and now his new one, Zeroes. His writing level is reasonably easy with interesting scenarios and believable characters.

REVIEW: Don't call them heroes. But these six Californian teens have powers that set them apart.

Ethan aka Scam has a voice inside him that'll say whatever people want to hear, whether it's true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn't - like when the voice starts gabbing in the middle of a bank robbery. The only people who can help are the other Zeroes, who aren't exactly best friends these days.

Enter Nate, aka Bellwether, the group's 'glorious leader.' After Scam's SOS, he pulls the scattered Zeroes back together. But when the rescue blows up in their faces, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into whirlwind encounters with ever more dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos they find Kelsie, who can take a crowd in the palm of her hand and tame it or let it loose as she pleases.

Filled with high-stakes action and drama, Zeroes unites three powerhouse authors for the opening instalment of a thrilling new series.

i think super speed/perception would be a really cool power to have as it means that you can breeze through tests quickly and on the sporting field it would be heaps of fun to mess with people.

If i had a super power it would probably be something like magic as that means that you could do a bunch of things like lighting a fire or even cooling down the house. It would be really cool and useful to have magic.

I think i would choose for a superpower to be able to fly because then it would be far easier to travel and i could get to classes quicker and have more fun.
