Official synopsis Publisher
Alex Knight struggles to find a place between superheroes and supervillains in this explosive sequel to The Cloak Society, which School Library Journal says has “the same wide appeal as Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books.” The Cloak Society has just pulled off the greatest takedown in Sterling City’s history—but twelve-year-old Alex Knight has turned his back on the supervillains who raised him, and is fighting for the other side. Working with the superheroes is easier said than done, though . . . especially when your new teammates aren’t sure your days as a villain are over. Praised by Publishers Weekly for its “rapid-fire, comic book–style action,” the Cloak Society trilogy delivers high-stakes battles, extraordinary superpowers, and an original twist on the superhero stories readers know and love. Fans of the 39 Clues and the Alex Rider Adventures will be hooked! He’s betrayed his family of villains to fight for the heroes. But can a villain ever truly change his stripes? A Villain’s Redemption Story: Alex Knight was raised by the world’s most dangerous supervillains. Now, he’s their greatest enemy—if the heroes will have him. Enemies to Allies: He’s forced to team up with the Rangers of Justice, the very heroes he was trained to destroy. Trust is the one superpower nobody has. Kids with Superpowers: Join a team of young heroes and villains wielding everything from telekinesis and sonic blasts to animal transformation and control over the elements. Nonstop Action and Adventure: Perfect for kids who love fast-paced, comic book-style battles where the fate of the city is always on the line.
