Name’s Jess, and I have superpowers. A lot of them. You’d think that would make life easier. Wrong. Dead wrong. Having many superpowers landed me my first job out of college. (Translation: The government sent suited sweet-talkers with a carrot-and-stick approach to kidnap me and set me to reviewing superpowers.) Job Pros: Reviewing powers pays well, and my family stays off the scary people’s list of things-to-kill-today. Job Cons: It comes with a billion strings attached and a side serving of life-and-death situations.

Name’s Jess, but my official superhero name is Just Jess. (Just as in justice according to one yappy reporter.) Because I have multiple Gifts, I get to be the poster child for superpowers. Lucky me. (Translation: I get to deal with suited ninnies in stuffy boardrooms, a big fat target on my back, and would-be supervillains who keep popping up like dandelions.) Chasing down bad guys might keep me out of the boardroom (always a plus), but the government head games threaten my sanity and my family.

A book that explores the great American novelist and playwright Edna Ferber, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Ficton, whose work was made into many Academy Award-winning movies; the writing of her controversial, international best-selling novel about Texas, and the making of George Stevens’ Academy Award winning epic film of the same name, Giant.

In November 1909, thousands of factory workers walked off the job to protest the terrible working conditions in New York City factories. Joining the picket lines was dangerous, with thugs and police officers harassing picketers, but the protests stirred action. Many factory owners finally agreed to some of the workers’ demands and improved conditions. But nothing changed for workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, and those workers would pay a high price for the company's dangerous conditions.

People connected to Devya's Children are dead or being hunted. Selling government secrets could buy them a lot of bargaining power, but Dustin's knowledge is power. One path leads to captivity and the chance to hone their Gifts to perfection. The other path leads to freedom and a life on the run.

To pass the next training phase, Cassandra must kill a certain target, but the line between friend and foe quickly blurs.

One can read minds, another can shape dreams, and still another can heal battle wounds. The list goes on.

And many others just want to own them.

If one counts each of his siblings plus Danielle Matheson, the list of people Varick wants to protect stretches from coast to coast.

Varick’s lifelong quest has been to free her from their father, Dr. Dean Devya.

Once committed to the cause, Jillian, Malia, and Michio turn their full attention to fighting the cancer, but more danger awaits them. Defeating the disease and dodging government agents soon become the least of their worries when measured against the race against time to rescue one girl from certain death.

How far would you go to save someone you love? While learning to use her Dream Shaper Gift, Jillian Blairington met a sister named Nadia who has the power to speak inside one’s mind.

Meanwhile, Danielle tries to keep a friend out of trouble with human traffickers.

The kidnapping changes everything...Twelve-year-old Jillian Blairington never thought she was particularly special. She was wrong. She’s a Dream Shaper.

They also have her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, snatched to keep her in line. They also have a task for her. If Jillian can’t master her Gift quickly, Danielle might only be the first victim of many.
