About this listen
A geeky high schooler develops superpowers and is recruited to an international peacekeeping unit at the same time as he's struggling with mental health problems.
Gonzalo Lopez, nicknamed "Weakling" by his bullies, is just a normal teenager, except that he has superpowers. Ever since that fight with Bill Jackson where his powers first manifested and he broke his attacker’s hand by accident, everything has been spiraling out of control. Now, all of a sudden, he’s getting invited to parties, his psychiatrist’s started dating his mom, and at least two different international organizations are trying to hunt him down.
Then there’s Ali—the new girl at school, the only other person who believes any of this is happening to him, who seems to be hiding a secret of her own. Is she really his friend like she says she is, or does she have some sort of ulterior motive for being so nice to him all the time? Should he tell her about Miracle Force, the superpowered United Nations peacekeeping unit he’s just been recruited to? And when this is all happening so fast how is he going to keep his head together?
