Bookroo's summary

Five middle school bullies are struck by a freak accident, granting them superpowers that mirror the traits of their victims. As their abilities soar, their confidence plummets. Faced with a crisis threatening their school, they must confront their own insecurities and prejudices. Can they rise above their past behavior and become unlikely heroes, or will their newfound powers only deepen their struggles? This tale of transformation challenges perceptions and explores the true meaning of strength and change.

From the publisher

Bullies beware! A freak accident gives five middle school bullies super powers. But instead of being able to transform into cool super-beings, they take on the characteristics of the kids they bully. Sure their abilities may be at an all-time high, but do they really have what it takes to save their school when their self-esteem is at an all-time low? “Creative, funny, and engaging – this book presents a unique look at the dynamics of bullying. With a diverse cast of characters, the book illustrates that bullying affects everyone – and that the students who are bullying can change their behavior and make their school a more positive place.” — PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center
