SUPERPOWERED BOOK FULL

SUPERPOWERED BOOK SERIES
It took the creepiest elements of dystopia and combined it with epic superpowers, but really focused on the characters-and that was what made the series so easy to fall in love with. I loved the mix of photos of places and people that came into play in the book and the details of how she works through bringing a story to life from written ideas to a finished and colorized graphic novel.If you’re a YA veteran like we are, you might remember a time when THE DARKEST MINDS was all people could talk about. While I knew that lots of books mention "colorists" I hadn't quite grasped that another person created the palette for the book, working closely with Bell, of course. The notes on the creative process are interesting there are preliminary sketches, and notes on how graphic novels are produced.
There are more pictures of Bell as a child, and some pictures of her report cards as well! The additional information in the Superpowered edition helps a bit. My cousin had a device similar to Bell's Sonic Ear, and it was a very large device even my reader says that before she got an implant, she had a unit that was rather cumbersome. The friend and boy drama are squarely middle grade and are as important as Bell's dealings with her issues of being different.īell is clearly about my age, given the cultural references, so it might have been helpful to have a year mentioned, so that readers would have an idea that the technology of hearing aids might have changed a bit. This will be popular with readers who like graphic novels, but is an interesting story even without the pictures. My reader was still thrilled to see the book, and is looking forward to the full color version. I have one student who is a huge reader has a sign language interpreter I asked her if she would like the book and explained that while it was about a girl with a hearing loss, she doesn't use sign language. I especially appreciated the after note where she said that this was a chronicle of just HER experience, and that there are so many different ways to deal with this. There are very few characters in middle grade books with hearing loss, so the details of what Bell experienced were interesting.
