The Mighty Odds by Amy Ignatow
3.0
The strength of this book is the funny powers the kids receive and its strong characterization.
However, I feel like this is barely 1/3 of the book. I was anticipating getting to see how the kids make use of these talents to stop the bad guys but once we finally meet the bad guys, the novel ends. Ditto to the transformation story of the mean girl: we barely get a hint that she might be figuring out what she has done to others and then the book ends. I'm guessing the story continues in book 2 and 3, but I feel ripped off that I didn't get a complete story.
Also, I'm guessing there are funny illustrations done by one of the characters, but I listened to the audio and that didn't translate well. Overall, fine book but not going on my recommend list.
