Synopsis

Luke King knows a lot of things. Like four different ways to disarm an enemy before the attacker can take a breath. Like every detail of every book he's ever read. And Luke knows enough—just enough—about what his father does as a black ops infiltrator to know which questions not to ask.

Luke hopes that this time, he'll finally have a normal life. He'll be able to ask out the girl he likes. He'll hang out with his friends. He'll be invisible—just as he wants.

But when his dad goes missing, Luke realizes that life will always be different for him. Suddenly he must avoid his father's kidnappers, while at the same time evading the attention of a mysterious clique of Russian hipsters, who seem much too interested in Luke's own personal secret. Faced with multiple challenges and his emerging paranormal identity, Luke must decide who to trust as he creates his own destiny.

Goodreads review by Francesca

Read this in slow time w/younger son. We had a lot of fun with it and enjoyed the characters, but in part in it was because of amused exasperation with the hero's over-the-top references to his own special powers and uniqueness. He's familiar with Russian street slang? Of course he is. Bestest-best......more
