Epic Zero 2: Tales of a Pathetic Power Failure (Epic Zero: 6th Grade Superhero)

Kids who love superheroes, adventure, and laugh-out-loud humor will love the second book in the bestselling, power-packed Epic Zero series!

Elliott Harkness finally has powers and is a full-fledged member of the Freedom Force, Earth’s greatest superhero team. Elliott should be over the moon, but having powers doesn't mean you can control them. So after he botches another mission, he finds himself grounded.

But Elliott’s punishment is short-lived when he’s kidnapped by a band of teenage alien outlaws who want him to use the Orb of Oblivion to stop a planet-eating monster. Unfortunately, Elliott blew up the Orb months ago. But that’s just the start of his problems as he’s swept into a galactic adventure filled with interstellar enemies and cosmic beings beyond his wildest imagination.

With the fate of the universe at stake, will Elliott become the epic hero he’s always wanted to be—or will he always be just an Epic Zero?
