Publisher Description
Frank Doyle was going places. As the only sophomore on his high school’s varsity baseball team, he had it all—popularity, an all but certain scholarship, a future. He was somebody.
Then he got marked, and lost it all. Sure, the mark gave him the power to teleport (sort of), but it meant he couldn't play baseball, or any other sport. It meant he didn't fit in. It meant he had to transfer to The School where he was just another kid with a power—a nobody. Now he’s got no real friends and no real future, and for the last year and a half, he’s been making that everyone else’s problem.
When a stunt gone wrong leaves him trapped in a form that he knows he should hate, his attempts to prove that he hasn’t really changed leave him stranded with his worst enemy, far from home. Frank will have to choose between clinging to an identity that never really fit, or facing the consequences, and the future, as herself.
Customer Reviews
A heartwarming queer superhero origin
The synopsis pulled me in, but it’s Frank that kept me furiously turning pages. Lashing out as a teen who feels wronged without acknowledging it, Frank is so very relatable. And that makes actually trying to be a better person such a joy to watch unfold.
Beyond that, the romance is cute, and the characters actually communicate. You’re not stuck for chapters thinking, “just TELL THEM”. It’s refreshing and left me feeling warm fuzzies.
And above it all is Frank’s queer awakening. It all felt so familiar and authentic, even if I’m a little envious at the “easy mode” transition.
