Charlie (short for Charlotte) is not pleased to be moving from Chicago to Arizona, especially in the middle of the school year. She soon, however, makes friends with Maria, who, like her, plays soccer, and Maria's computer geek friend, Mac. Things are going along great until strange things start happening during soccer practice. Charlie has bursts of speed and strength that seem super-human. She figures out that the new abilities are connected to a sports bracelet she mysteriously received in the mail on the day she left Chicago. As she explores her new powers she has no idea how much danger the bracelet will bring to her and her new friends.This is the first in a new series by the author of the successful The Unwanteds series. It is a pretty standard "discovering you have special powers" book like a host of others that have come out over the last decade. The characters are likeable enough, and there is plenty of fast paced action. The book ends without much resolution, so don't even start if you are not committed to read the whole series. 375 p.
