CoverI hate to say it, but I'm not a big fan of the cover.  I understand it ... I'm just not a fan.  It reminds me of the old comic books with how the two girls are drawn.PlotThe story definitely has action and suspense while still dealing with the normal teenage feelings of inadequacy, jealousy over an older sibling and low self-esteem.It definitely kept my interest.  However, I must say the ending lacked a little oomph for me.  I understand why the author went in the direction she did, but I did not find it as exciting action-wise as the pages before it.Main CharactersEllen - Holly's older sister and superheroine, Suprema - Ellen has taken after her father's side of the family and has become a superhero.  She's smart, attractive, fun and people are drawn to her ... which can be a source of contention where Holly is concerned.Holly - Ellen's younger sister and normal human - Holly has her father's physique, but her mother's human nature.  Holly is jealous of Ellen and how perfect she is.  Only when Holly is thrown into an unexpected situation does she somewhat understand how Ellen's life must be.Tad - New kid in town - He has just arrived in Century City and is Holly's crush.  Even though Tad is in Ellen's grade, Holly tries her best to get Tad to notice her and like her.  He's the All-American good looking hunk that all the girls go ga-ga over.OverallThere were a couple writing errors and some questions left unanswered (for me), but overall I was drawn into this book and enjoyed it.  I would recommend this more to the teen crowd rather than the adults.
