I think what was missing for me was that the main character, Penny, and her best friends/sidekicks/henchmen Claire and Ray, had an interesting double life going on as school kids and villains (although pretty good guy-ish villains), a team known as The Inscrutable Machine.
The Machine is largely absent from the book, as the kids deal with their lives, complications from their parents, and the sudden surge of kids in their school going public with their powers. Penny finds herself drafted as head of a club for powered kids. They even get a very unexpected adult advisor. Penny also ends up helping out a few local supers with their personal lives.
It was still written, and I enjoyed it, and will read the rest of the series, just this one didn't land quite as well. ...more
