Holly always assumed that getting superpowers would be the hard part of becoming a superhero.
But when a transformer explodes overhead on her way home from work one day, she’s forced to reconsider—getting them was easy. After she’s released from the hospital, she discovers she can control electricity.
While Holly is practicing her newfound ability in the backyard, her younger brother Jesse sees her and decides to use his training in martial arts to teach his sister how to rein in her power.
It’s only a matter of time before they’re a superheroic crime-fighting duo—or so they want to believe. But it’s a lot harder to be a superhero than it seems.

Wow
So I took awhile to actually start reading. That being said I started reading and put the book down a few times not because I wasnt interested but because life happens. So I start reading again one evening and literally finished it in the wee early morning hours of the day. Wow. It was thrilling, exciting, intense. The characters were relatable and the story was just so real. Thank you to the author for being such an inspiring person.

I had the privilege of reading the manuscript before publication and what a treat it is!
I'm not usually one for superhero novels. I find them bland and predictable. But Grayscale offers new twists to the YA superhero genre and also has positive LGBT+ representation throughout.
Don't let the description fool you, there is a lot more to Grayscale than a brother and sister superhero duo, but I won't give away spoilers!
