Westerfeld, Scott, Margo Lanagan, & Deborah Biancotti. Zeroes. 560p. (Zeroes: Bk. 1). ebook available. S. & S./Simon Pulse. Sept. 2015. Tr $19.99. ISBN 9781481443364. Gr 9 Up–This may not be the first tale of a group of crime-fighting teenagers with supernatural powers, but its talented writing team get points for creating some fresh and original superpowerd abilities. Scam has a seemingly omniscient inner voice, which can speak for him and get him out of trouble or, all too often, into it. Flicker is blind but can perceive what others see. Crash can take down any computer and finds the experience embarrassingly—and dangerously—enjoyable. Bellwether can control the energies of the group and unite them in a common purpose. And Anonymous—well, never mind, no one seems to remember anything about that guy. These five, plus one unpredictable new addition, make up the Zeroes, a team that split up due to infighting but get called back together to fight a baddie and come to terms with their talents and their place in the world. Told from six different points of view, the plot of this hefty tome sometimes gets bogged down, but the time taken to develop each character pays off, and with two sequels planned, readers can look forward to spending more time with the Zeroes in the future. VERDICT For fans of superhero fiction looking for a character-driven tale and those who enjoy works by the three capable authors.–Eliza Langhans, Hatfield Public Library, MA This review was published in School Library Journal's July 2015 issue.
