The Potentials

By: Woodland, Adrian

The Potentials: Some stories save the world. Others burn it to the ground.

Daniel Ambrose is one screw-up from being expelled...again. His mum's left, his dad's broken and his teenage life is collapsing fast. Then, a weird substitute teacher shows up questioning the existence of magic, miracles, and superpowers and Daniel's miserable life will never be the same.

Gifted and lumped in with the school misfits, Daniel stumbles into a world where the supernatural has always been real; but when fragile friendships, and flawed abilities, turn deadly, his desperate search for hope pulls him into a darkness deeper than he ever imagined.

As the truth about their powers begins to unravel, Daniel, Molly, Soup, Gaz, Oscar and Hoshi must decide: will they fight to write their own story, or let evil write the ending for them?

The Potentials is a thrilling, thought-provoking story of power, sacrifice, and the cosmic forces that shape our lives. Perfect for fans of The Maze Runner and Percy Jackson, this is a tale of self-discovery where nothing is as it seems, and the greatest battle is fought within.

"On the face of it, it's a superhero novel. On a deeper level, it's about childhood trauma, neglect, abuse and forced religion. It's also completely hilarious and mad." - Reader review
