All 12-year-old Elliott Harkness wants is to be a superhero. His parents are superheroes. His sister is a superhero. Heck, even his dog is a superhero. But Elliott has a problem. He’s a “Zero,” which is super-speak for powerless!

So while his family is off fighting crime, Elliott is stuck muddling through middle school. But when the fate of the world somehow falls into his ordinary hands, will he find the power to be the epic hero he’s always wanted to be—or will he always be just an Epic Zero?

Note: This edition collects books 1–3 in a single volume and is not a boxed set.

• Book 2: Tales of a Pathetic Power Failure — Elliott finally has powers, but it doesn’t mean he can control them. And when he’s recruited by a team of teenage alien outlaws to stop a planet-eating monster, things could end in disaster!
