My So-Called Superpowers: All the Feels is the third book in a heartwarming middle-grade series about a girl whose emotions turn into uncontrollable superpowers. Veronica’s powers have taught her a lot—about her family, her friends, and how to be herself. They’ve also literally rained on her parade, turned her green with jealousy, and set her school on fire. You win some, you lose some. Now Veronica’s finally figuring out how to control her superpowers. But then she discovers there might be a way to get rid of them forever—and to live a “normal” life. Featuring ten black-and-white illustrations by Simini Blocker, All the Feels raises the stakes for this middle-school girl who has to decide if being “normal” is as fun as going on a roller-coaster ride of superpowered emotion. An Imprint Book Praise for My So-Called Superpowers: “Heather Nuhfer has hilariously and achingly captured what it’s like to be in middle school, trying to control the weird things that make you different but also super. It’s impossible not to root for Veronica. Super real, super fun, and just generally and genuinely super.” —Dana Simpson, New York Times–bestselling author of the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series “My So-Called Superpowers is vibrant, lively, and hums along at a snappy pace. It has a genuinely warm, welcoming Saturday-morning cartoon feeling to it.”—Tony Cliff, New York Times–bestselling author of the Delilah Dirk series

Then she finds out what she’ll be doing at summer camp: directing her own movie with her best friend Charlie—and her best frenemy Becky. At first it seems fun, until Veronica’s superpowers start affecting other people. When Veronica calls “Action!” everyone has to do what she says. But is that the best way to make her dream movie—or to treat her friends?

Puberty is a time a girl's precious body image is at stake. My Body's Superpower shows girls just how amazing and powerful their changing bodies are so they will want to take care of themselves. Each chapter utilizes the Superpower Formula: understanding what is happening inside the body (Super Knowledge), decoding body signals (Body Talk), and learning how to "time travel" to the future when making decisions. Whether it's the different stages of puberty, the reason behind intense hunger and weight gain, or feeling emotional and unsure about friends, this book has it covered. The book is divided into three parts that cover 9 superpowers: Physical Powers: Understanding physical changes during puberty and giving the body what it needs to thrive. Emotional Powers: Tuning into the inner world of feelings, choosing the best super friends, and taking time to discover more about yourself and what excites you. Outside Powers: Learning how to critically think about media messages and reduce pressure in both the "virtual" and "real" worlds. The book is even better when read alongside a trusted female adult. So it has the potential of bonding time, sharing stories, and helping both girls and women appreciate their bodies.
