Ryan wakes up to find his contractor dad building walls to turn their big old house into a duplex. The family that moves into the other side includes Bizzy Horvat, the pretty girl he has a crush on at school. Bizzy claims her mother is a witch with the power to curse people with clumsiness or, in Bizzy’s case, astonishing beauty.

When a bee gets caught in Bizzy’s hair, Ryan acts so quickly and radically to save her from getting stung that he attracts the attention of a group of micropotents - people with micropowers. He soon realizes that Bizzy and her mother also have such powers. It becomes Ryan’s job, with the help of the other micropotents, to protect the Horvats from a group of witch hunters from their native country, who are determined to kill Bizzy, her mother, and all the other “witches” - micropotents - who have gathered to protect them.

Definitely middle school to high school is the target audience. As an adult i still found it somewhat interesting because it had so much potential. I kept waiting for the hook but it never came. I have read many of his other books but this one just wasn’t it for me.

This is why Orson Scott Card is my favorite author, he never ceases to give us a “can’t put down” book.

Young love & super powers

The best story teller ever. Hands down. I’ve read or listened to everything he has written and he still amazes me.

Always

Orson seems to be quietly bringing up some of the finer points of his "unbelief?" in LDS doctrine.

The protagonist seeing the necessity for his micro power but not desiring to use it because there wasn't any cap on fatality.
