Not So Average Anymore

On the way home from her totally mortifying first day of seventh grade, Alex (short for Alexandra) Mack gets accidentally doused with a hazardous and top-secret chemical known as GC-161. Paradise Valley Chemical CEO Danielle Atron, security head Vince, and dim driver Dave begin their fruitless search for the GC-161 kid. Alex soon learns that she has the ability to move things with her mind (telekinesis), to shoot electricity from her fingertips, and to morph into a liquid puddle. The only people who know of Alex's newfound abilities are her older sister, high school student and science whiz Annie, and her best friend, laidback and funny Ray. Alex is happy that she's "not so average anymore." This book was a novelization of the show's premiere episode. Diana G. Gallagher sticks to the script and describes the characters accurately, letting fans recall an old favorite while those who missed this fun and fantastic show easily picture what occurred.

Alex-was-just-an-average-kid-until-her-1st-day-of-junior-hi

Alex was just a normal kid until her first day of junior high. One second Alex is walking home and then there's a crash. A truck from the paridise vally chemical plant over turns and drenches Alex in some weird chemical. And ever since then Alex has never been the same. The chemical gave Alex three powers: #1. Alex can move things just by thinking real hard about something. #2. Alex can morph into a liqued and stay like that but if she's in a more cold or in water she can stay a liqued longer. #3. Alex can zap things with her finger. Alex's best friend Ray thinks her powers are cool, And her sister Annie thinks Alex is a science project. Alex can't let anyone else no not even her parents because she knows the chemical plant wants to find her so they can use GC-161 to have it so one can stuff his/her face and not gain a pound.But you know what, Alex isn't so average anymore.

A normal girl gains super powers in one day!

Alex was a pretty average kid going to her first day of junior high school. Her day is really rough, and on the way home, she gets drenched in an illegal chemical called GC-161. Now she can zap things through her fingers, float objects to her, and morph into a silver puddle. All too cool? Actually it is. It is hard to control herself sometimes, and having PVC Plant looking for her as a guinea pig isn't helping either. Can Alex keep a normal teen life and control her new abilities? Will the plant catch her? Read this book. I thought it was really good-- even better than the episode it's based on! If you like Alex Mack, this would be a good book to read.

A reader from the U.K

A very good book. The book describes the accident where Alex Mack gets GC-161 on her which enables her to have supernatural powers. If you have not read this book yet, grab hold of a copy, because you don't know what you're missing.
