Would you rather be a hero or a villain?
It's Damien's sixteenth birthday- the day he's been waiting for- the day when the V will appear on his thumb declaring him a supervillain. He will finally be able to join his friends at the villain's high school where his girlfriend and best friend will be going. He'll be able to work with his mom on all her evil plots. Well, at midnight, when the V is supposed to appear, instead he gets an X on his thumb. What the heck?? Damien comes to find out his mother had a one night stand with -wait for it- a SUPERHERO!! This devastates Damien, I mean really, a superhero father!! Damien finds out who his father is and is forced to go and live with The Crimson Flash to see which side he will really be joining. Of course, he keeps getting into situations that force him to HELP people he loves- dang it- that sounds almost heroic! This book was really clever and interesting. Damien has a great sense of humor and uses it to get himself out of and into difficult situations. Oh- and he's afraid of heights- quite a problem for someone who has the power to fly. I definitely recommend The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea Campbell for all readers. It has it all, love, action, humor and a fast paced story- sidekick included.
