About this ebook
At least I can excel in science class, where my love of STEM—that’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—comes in handy. But science class takes a turn for the worse when the antics of my super-strong classmate put the school in danger. And it seems none of the other students’ powers can help. That’s where I come in!

Cole Champion Is Not Super - Rebecca J. Allen
Chapter One
Honor, Endurance, Resolve, Optimism Junior High
When you’re the only normal
at a school for the superpowered, you’ve got two options for surviving the school day with the least trouble possible. Option one: You trail HERO Junior’s principal (aka, Mom) into the school to avoid being challenged by Supers flexing their muscles. Then you stay within a ten-foot radius of a teacher or administrator at all times. This option is foolproof. Just ignore the supersized serving of humiliation you feel for being so helpless you need the protection of adults.
Option two: you go on your own and hope for the best.
And by you, I mean me.
As Mom turns the minivan into the entrance of HERO Junior High, my shoulders instinctively tense up. I’m not ready for another day of this excellent educational opportunity,
as she calls it. But that won’t get me out of going to class.
The sky is blue with just a few puffy clouds. The Superhero Alliance flag in front of the school flutters in a light breeze. It’s the type of day that makes future superheroes dream of saving humankind, then being invited to the White House for a photo shoot and brunch with the president. It makes me wish I went to any school other than this one.
Today is going to be different, I tell myself. Today is the day I stop using Mom as a bodyguard. Today is the day I brave the Supers on my own.
Mom turns off the engine and reaches for her bag in the front passenger seat. Then she looks back at me. Ready?
On the seat next to me, my bot, Sidekick, lets out a beep with an ascending pitch. He’s trying to be encouraging. But I’m not feeling it.
I remind myself that if I were at Middletown Junior High, the public school my best friend goes to, I’d hang outside until the warning bell rang. I want to be able to do that here too. So, I shoot Mom a huge, fake-cheery smile and say, Sidekick and I want to get some fresh air before class.
Mom’s sky-blue eyes peer deep into mine, like she’s looking inside my skull at the activity of my brain to see if I’m hiding anything.
I mean this literally. With her X-ray vision, she can see my brain. But even with her power, she can’t read my thoughts.
Good idea.
Her eyes now sparkle. I recognize the warning sign. She wants to wrap her arms around me in a big, sappy hug. But she knows hugs are off-limits—a zillion times off-limits within sight of classmates. Fortunately, she just nods, steps out of the car, and strides toward the school entrance, her high-heeled super boots clicking against the blacktop.
Great. Now I’m committed. I press back into my seat, savoring the last moments of safety within the steel frame of our minivan, and gather my courage. Then I turn to Sidekick. We better get our butts in motion before any more Supers show up.
The bot swivels his head to the side, his eyes dropping to where his butt would be if he were shaped more like a human and less like a snowman—three stacked, white balls, one for his head, one for his chest, and one with two wheels attached at the sides so he can move.
Sidekick started out as a
