“Engaging debut novel with a story that will keep you guessing to the super-satisfying end.” —Michael Darling, bestselling author of Got Luck.
Slip Stephenson has the lamest super power of all time. His father, a world renowned Super, can turn himself invisible, but Slip has never managed to do anything more than turn himself an underwhelming shade of black.
According to the rules of the School for Underage Power Enhancement and Refinement (SUPER), Slip has to pass his final test by the end of this year or he must give up his superpowered dreams and live as a regular civilian. He spends his senior year studying with five other nearly useless would-be Supers. Together, they must work as a team and overcome their watered-down powers if they want to make it in the world of superheroes.
As this ragtag group comes together, they notice that strange things are happening in the Super world. A mysterious villain has set up base next to Slip’s school, and famous and powerful Supers are turning evil. To protect the ones they love, Slip and his team must take matters into their own hands.
Can Slip and his newfound friends unravel the mystery? Will they be able to take on fully-powered supervillains? And will they be able to save the world?
The Supes eBook Matthew Pritt
First off, as a few other people warn, the book seems like it would be a Young Adult sort of book, teenagers trying to learn how to use their powers with a literally cartoony aspect to their world where superhero news is rendered as comicbook strips in the newspaper, and the main character, Slip, occasionally complains that comics written by the "Norms" are unrealistic, with plot aspects that are ridiculous because "things just don't work that way". But within the book, we see cracks in the system, where superpowered individuals are kept apart from civilian society, monitored and commanded by the government, and by the end of the book, several characters are dead and the government has jailed nearly a third of the superhero population due to their type of powers.But aside from that, this was really quite entertaining. The school for training powers has a squad-based mentality with very specific roles, but students are encouraged to swap out said roles as they get a better understanding of who they are and what their powers can do. The characters are fun, if a bit one-dimensional from time to time. I actually liked how Slip, the main character, nursed a grudge against Edison almost entirely because Edison made a move on Felicia (successfully!) before Slip could summon the courage. It made him feel much more human. Similarly, the way in which Scout, his twin, doesn't particularly want to do anything with superpowers, but wants to keep their superpowered father happy, was a nice touch.
Ultimately, I liked it. It's not high literature, but it does the trick.

The Supes eBook Matthew Pritt Reviews
This book was amazing! Such a creative and new idea! It was fast paced and very well written. I can't wait to read the next installment of The Supes! At least, I hope there is more! I am so proud of you, Matt! Great job!
Pritt weaves together an intricate new world of superheroes in The Supes. With a wide variety of humor and characters that interact wonderfully, the trudging plot of "picture perfect" super hero tropes is forgotten amongst a story that feels as real as possible in a world where super powers are common.
It's a refreshing read for a variety of ages and I hope there's more to come in the niche he's created within the superhero genre.
Well done!
This is a fast, enjoyable read-- I couldn't set it down! As a warning, it does get a little "real" at the end versus an everything-always-goes-as-planned-happy-ending kind of book, but it makes it all the more interesting.
This book approaches the superhero genre from a different perspective A group of subpar superheroes-in-training who are on their last chance to prove they are worthy of even being called superheroes. Anyone who has faced adversity or has felt uncomfortable in their own skin will be able to relate to this story. This book was easy to get into, hard to put down, and kept me guessing...everything you want in a book!
What I liked most about the book was how the characters discovered their own uniqueness in the world of superheroes. Frustrated at not meeting expectations, and at the end of their qualifying trials, it takes a tragic mentor with her own secrets to open the supes' eyes to the unusual possibilities that each possesses.
I really hope this is only the first book in a series about the supes. Really liked the characters and the presentation was very good. Really need to more about their future exploits as a group and as individuals. Good job.
Above all, this is an entertaining story that allows escapists like me to briefly live in another world, While the first chapter had me confused, it resolved quickly and really worked to set up the structure of the world that Mr Pritt developed for this story. Within this new world, the characters have real flaws and realistic interactions with one other and each develops and grows throughout the unpredictable adventure. With believable, likable characters, excellent writing and plot twists, even the violence works. Can't wait for the sequel!
