Young Adult Science Fiction
An action-packed series-starter perfect for fans of The Heroine Complex and Not Your Sidekick. βI didnβt know how much I needed this brave, thrilling book until it rocked my world. Dreadnought is the superhero adventure we all need right now.ββCharlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky Danny Tozer has a problem: she just inherited the powers of Dreadnought, the worldβs greatest superhero. Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died right in front of her, Danny was trying to keep people from finding out sheβs transgender. But before he expired, Dreadnought passed his mantle to her, and those secondhand superpowers transformed Dannyβs body into what sheβs always thought it should be. Now thereβs no hiding that sheβs a girl. It should be the happiest time of her life, but Dannyβs first weeks finally living in a body that fits her are more difficult and complicated than she could have imagined. Between her fatherβs dangerous obsession with βcuringβ her girlhood, her best friend suddenly acting like heβs entitled to date her, and her fellow superheroes arguing over her place in their ranks, Danny feels like sheβs in over her head. She doesnβt have time to adjust. Dreadnoughtβs murdererβa cyborg named Utopiaβstill haunts the streets of New Port City, threatening destruction. If Danny canβt sort through the confusion of coming out, master her powers, and stop Utopia in time, humanity faces extinction.
