In the first of a hilarious, heartfelt new trilogy from Newbery Medal-winning graphic novelist Jerry Craft, a kid without superpowers navigates the epic highs and lows of a school that trains its students to become anime heroes. Aren Anderson may be the MVP at his middle school in Connecticut, but when he and his family suddenly get transported to a bizarre new realm, everything changes!

Can Aren adjust from being the kid with all the power in his old school to feeling completely powerless in his new school?
