Summary | Des is the kid everyone overlooks, even as he longs for some recognition. He doesn't stand out in any particular way -- except one: He's a "super-recognizer," someone who never forgets a face. It's a talent not even he values. But Des wants to change the game. So he comes up with a plan to use his superpower to help his mom's detective squad ID the members of a crime ring that are looking to make off with some valuable items at a comic convention. Instead, he meets Cosmo, who has a power of their own. Can Des's power help Cosmo before spies, police and an international comics empire co-opt Cosmo's power? A twisty story with fantastic page-turning plot points that also delivers a universal message about recognizing the strengths of your true self. |
