Watch
out. Things are about to get really bad.
Excerpt from Super Bad:
Looking around the room Sandra asked, “Is this an FVA party? It
seems too far away.”
“No. SVA. You didn’t even know which school’s party you were
crashing?” Disdain dripped from Oceanus’s words.
The condescending tone was too much. Hadn’t she been nice to Oceanus
when she dropped by unexpectedly? Anger surged inside Sandra. “What does it
even matter? The schools are all balanced now anyway. Thanks to you!”
Lexa’s mouth dropped open.
Oceanus clenched her fists. “I told you, I had nothing to do with
it.”
Before Sandra could spit back a reply, a boy sidled up to Oceanus,
his eyes scanning the partygoers.
“Hey, babe. Those mozzarella things you made were a huge hit. Can
you make more?” The boy ran his hand down her back and finally dropped his gaze
to Oceanus. “What’s wrong?”
He followed her glower and squinted at Sandra. “Do I know you?”
“Aaaahhh!” Sandra yelled. “You arrogant jerk.”
She spun toward Lexa, who was all but drooling over the boy. “Let’s
go!”
“What?” Lexa exclaimed.
The boy frowned. “So obviously I’m supposed to know you.”
“Set, it’s Sandra. Polar’s sister,” Oceanus grumbled.
“Ah, right. You cut your hair,”
he said.
“Yeah, one does that after it’s burned off!” Sandra
tugged on Lexa’s arm. “We can’t stay here.”
SUPER BAD The unexpected conclusion to the
Super Villain Academy series.
The world is in chaos. Violence and thievery reign. And with
the supers still balanced, it’s only getting worse. Without good versus evil,
the supers care less and less. In order to restore purpose, the world needs its
super heroes and its super villains, but the one who balanced them in the first
place is missing.
Sandra’s concern over finding her brother, Jeff, isn’t her
only problem. Her pathetic excuse for super powers has left her needing a new
ankle. And though she’s still very much committed to her boyfriend, Source,
she’s growing unreasonably attracted to Set, the boy who double crossed Jeff by
stealing his girlfriend.
When Sandra is taken and held as bait by kids who want to
unbalance the super world, it becomes the inciting event that changes things
for supers everywhere and forces them to answer the question, “Hero or
villain?”
