115 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w illus. "When Jenny draws an untrue map, the world changes to conform.

And Nina, who can give any power she wants to her brother, to his friends, and to herself, refuses to save a neighborhood boy from death. These are metakids: kids who are kids...and more besides...Each of these four stories gives its own marvelous and often surprising answer to the question: What is it like, after all, to have a superpower?" Recommended for ages 10-14. Minor wrinkling at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has minor rubbing, very light edge wrinkling, tiny tear at bottom of spine. NF/VG
