I just finished reading "Super What" by Jax Abbott. It's a funny, touching take on a young girl's journey into adulthood. With a twist. Sort of like Princess Diaries meets "the Incredibles". Great read, I highly recommend it.

 From Amazon.com:

Fifteen-year-old high school sophomore, Jessie Drummond, is not your average teenager. Sure, she likes guys, dreams of being kissed by Orlando Bloom, and worries about her big, crazy hair, and how it just never seems to want to cooperate. But most teenagers aren't part of a family of superheros like Jessie is. And most teenagers don't have to worry about why they never came into their superhero powers, but their genius seven-year-old sister did, and most teenagers didn't have their superhero Father killed while he was fighting evil villains for the League of Liberty, causing Jessie, and the rest of her family to leave Seattle and head to a tiny town in Florida called, get this, Skyville. But now, things are changing. Jessie's powers are suddenly coming on, very strong, and if that weren't enough, she has two super-cute guys vying for her attention. Now Jessie has to worry about saving the world, on top of choosing which guy she likes more, and wants to go to Mini Prom with. Of course, this is all in a day's work for a superhero.
