Item description from seller
Hardcover. High school sophomore Matt Pine always thought he'd grow up to be a superhero-after all, not everyone can move things with their mind. But he can only move small stuff, nothing big enough to matter; it wasn't big enough to save his mom from dying in a fire five years ago. Ever since he failed that night, he's been hiding from his Ability, and he's come to grips with the fact that superheroes aren't real. Now he just wants to get through high school in one piece.But then a semi truck smashes into a car right in front of him, and he watches the driver die. That's hard enough to deal with, but Matt soon discovers that the death was anything but accidental. The owner of the local auto parts factory, Seth Crossman, took the man out to cover up a defective product.and he's not done killing yet. And since everyone else in town is too scared to do anything, Matt decides it's up to him. That means learning to use this Ability he's been hiding from; and getting some help from his friends, who have their own overlooked talents. But they're going up against brawn and bullets, so they'll have to pool everything they have to keep anyone else from getting killed-including themselves. This item is printed on demand.

“A page-turning superhero story”—Kirkus reviews
High school sophomore Matt Pine used to think he’d grow up to be a superhero.
He can move things with his mind…but nothing big enough to matter. It wasn’t big enough to save his mom from dying in a fire five years ago.
Ever since that night, Matt’s been hiding from his Ability, and he’s realized that superheroes don’t exist—not in the real world.
Then he witnesses a deadly car crash, and discovers it wasn’t an accident.
The owner of the local auto parts factory is covering up a dangerous secret, and anyone who gets too close ends up dead. Everyone else is keeping their head down and trying to stay alive. But for the first time since his mom died, Matt decides to stop hiding.
He can’t do this alone. He has friends with their own overlooked talents, but none of them are very impressive either. The people they’re going up against, on the other hand, have money, muscle, and guns. Matt and his friends know they don’t stand a chance.
But being a hero means having the guts to stand up anyway.
But I’m Not A Hero is a YA speculative thriller with grounded superhuman elements.
