In the earth-shattering conclusion of the critically acclaimed Super Human series, a young boy, longing for a normal life, finds himself trapped in a world where his unique abilities set him apart from others.
“A high-octane blend of concept and action . . . Carroll creates an utterly compelling narrative that ends all too soon.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
All he wants is to break through the prison’s stone walls, to flee the armed guards, to return to his old life.
Even if he escapes the prison, he cannot escape what he is. Thirteen feet tall. Hairless. Blue-skinned.
His captors see him only as a monster, a rampaging villain with inhuman strength and a temper to match. They call him Brawn. They don’t care about the truth—about the person inside. He is twelve years old and very, very scared.
His fear will not last forever. In time, it will be replaced with anger and determination.
He is certain that one day he will escape. And then . . .
And then they’ll all begin to understand.
