Instead of being accepted to the school of her dreams, Sarah is marked as an outcast with powers - a Misshape.Now she's stuck at public school with a rag-tag group of fellow Misshapes, her dreams of heroism on hold indefinitely. Yet despite this setback, Sarah is determined to take charge of her powers and harness whatever potential she possesses in order to win a place at Hero Academy. Yet the path to Hero greatness won't be easy.

And when Doolittle Falls comes under attack, Sarah will have to have to prove there may be more to the Misshapes than everyone thinks... some Supervillain butt in the process.
