(4) 4-6 In this series-opening graphic novel, brothers Tuck and Hudson gain superpowers from junk their mom picks up at an estate sale. As the tale seeks its footing--establishing ground rules, motivation, bad guys, and setting--its plot flounders slightly. Despite the uneven pace, action abounds, and the richly colored, realistic panel illustrations; clever premise; and suspenseful ending will engage readers.
