This book was a pretty good one. Charlie McFarley is a super smart fourteen year old boy who doesn't fit in with anyone except his best friend ben. One day when he went out on camp, he got struck by lightning and suddenly got super speed, hearing and strength. I liked how the boy who couldn't fit in with everyone got the super powers.
