The Detention Crew Pt. 1 (Paperback or Softback)

The most dangerous kids at Wayne Carberry High just got powers―and a villain to teach them control. The Detention Crew Pt. 1, a YA team book from the Soska sisters.

When troubled teens at Wayne Carberry High suddenly gain dangerous powers, a reformed supervillain is brought in to help them learn control. As they struggle to master abilities none of them asked for, an ancient threat begins to rise―putting everyone, powered or not, in its path.

A young-adult team book with horror under the hood: grounded teen drama, found-family friction, and a mentor whose past is exactly the wrong kind of qualification. The Rippaverse's YA lane starts here.

The first chapter of The Detention Crew, written by Jen and Sylvia Soska―a YA (teen) series that continues in Pt. 2 and the HC collection. A clean entry point for younger readers into the Rippaverse.

For younger readers and the adults handing them the book, it's a clean, self-contained entry into the Rippaverse with the franchise's signature character-first energy and horror-tinged stakes that set it apart from typical teen-team fare.
