Bookroo's summary

Ben Braver returns to Kepler Academy, a secret school for kids with special abilities, but he still lacks powers. As classmates grow stronger, Ben must find a way to fit in and protect himself from enemies. Will he risk everything to become the ultimate superhero, or will his secret be his downfall? Dive into a world of action and humor as Ben navigates the challenges of being ordinary in an extraordinary place.

From the publisher

Ben has to be even braver if he wants to survive another year as an ordinary kid at an extraordinary school in the latest book in the middle-grade Ben Braver series.

Even though Ben Braver saved Kepler Academy from total destruction last year, he knows he still doesn’t fit in at his secret middle school for kids with special abilities. Ben’s been hiding his lack of super skills, but it’s getting harder as his classmates’ powers are getting stronger.

Will Ben be able to power up before his enemies at school take him down? And will he risk everything to become the ultimate superhero?

Packed with black-and-white art and comic strip panels, The Incredible Exploding Kid is another surefire hit from the author behind Diary of a Sixth Grade Ninja.
