Book Summary

Mia Macarooney is an ordinary 8-year-old girl who discovers she has a secret superpower: super strength! She is invited to the Superhero Training Academy (S.T.A.R.S.) where she meets other young heroes like Eddie (who can fly) and Gabby (who can turn invisible). Mia struggles to control her strength, often breaking things by accident, and feels clumsy. She faces a big test at the academy to prove her superhero abilities. During the test, she learns to embrace her unique power, even with its challenges, and saves the day, earning her superhero cape.
