Darrell Pitt has written and fun and exciting new series that is very enjoyable.  The book starts out with a mystery; a young teenager, 17 year-old Axel who wakes up in a hotel room with a man who's been shot, and is now dying.  The man whispers to Axel something about a swan, and an agency where he's not to trust anyone.  Axel, who in the beginning, doesn't even know his own name, is given a book, and told that the answers he seeks are in the book, and that his name is Axel.  And that he should make a difference.From the first chapter, the race is on.  Bad guys want to kill Axel, and then Brodie the beautiful teenage girl who Axel is not sure he can trust, offers him a ride on a motorcycle to get away from the men shooting at him.  Should he trust her?  With absolutely no memory, Axel must first find out who he is, and secondly, find out why people want to kill him, and most important of all, find out who he can trust.Pitt starts his novel off with a bang, and never lets up the tension.  Axel is joined by other teenagers like him, all with superpowers, all being chased by an army of lethal killers, who first torture the kids, and then set out to eliminate them.  How did Axel get his superpowers? Who is he?  And how can he make a difference?Diary of a Teenage Superhero is the first in a series and it's an thriller.  I can't imagine teens not enjoying the action and the camaraderie of the characters, and the thrill of having superpowers, and running from unscrupulous men and women who want to kill you.This series can be a bit violent, so beware when you give it to your younger teens.  It's not Call Of Duty, since the kids are very reluctant to have to kill anyone, but the book does have violence in it.
