Publisher Description

For high school junior Charlie Byrne, navigating the halls is a daily tactical operation. Paralyzed from the waist down and relying on a 500-pound power wheelchair, Charlie survives by wearing a stoic "statue mask"—starving his classmates and The Corridor, a toxic anonymous school app, of the viral reactions they crave. His only real refuge? The pages of The Uncanny X-Men, where being an outcast doesn't make you a target—it makes you a hero.
When a vicious prank on an elevated walkway sends Charlie's wheelchair over the ledge, leaving him hospitalized and his chair destroyed, his tormentors think they’ve sidelined him for good.
They couldn't be more wrong.
Stepping out of the shadows is an unlikely alliance of hyper-intelligent misfits: Scott, a fast-talking legal and code savant; James, a silent cyber-tactician; and Daniel "Forge" Blackfoot, a legendary practical-effects fabricator. Together with Charlie, they launch Project Chariot—a secret, high-tech operation in a garage workshop to rebuild Charlie’s drive system into an iconic, vacuum-formed yellow hoverchair pod fit for Professor X himself.
Targeting the ultimate stage at San Diego Comic-Con, Charlie and his crew embark on a high-stakes, 3,000-mile cross-country journey. Along the way, they’ll turn digital cruelty into unstoppable empowerment, fight back against administrative neglect, and prove that you don't need mutant superpowers to rewrite the rules—just grit, gear, and a team that has your back.
