Zeroes: Explosive Superhero Action Meets Coming-of-Age Drama

X-Men meets Marissa Meyer's Renegades when New York Times bestselling author of the Uglies series Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti for this explosive trilogy filled with "cinematic nonstop action," (Booklist) about six teens with unique abilities.

Don't Call Them Heroes

Six California teenagers discover they possess extraordinary abilities that set them apart from everyone else. Ethan, known as Scam, has a voice inside him that manipulates truth and lies. When this power backfires during a bank robbery, he calls on the only people who can help: the other Zeroes, a fractured group of powered teens who haven't been on speaking terms.

Nate, aka Bellwether, serves as the group's leader and rallies the scattered Zeroes back together for a rescue mission. But when their plan explodes in their faces, these six teens find themselves thrust into increasingly dangerous encounters with criminals. At the center of the chaos stands Kelsie, who wields the power to control crowds, taming or unleashing them at will.

Three Powerhouse Authors Unite

This trilogy opener combines the talents of Scott Westerfeld (Uglies series, Leviathan series), Margo Lanagan (four-time World Fantasy Award winner), and Deborah Biancotti (Shirley Jackson Award nominee). Their collaborative storytelling delivers high-stakes action, complex character dynamics, and a fresh take on the superhero genre for young adult readers.

Filled with cinematic action sequences, moral dilemmas, and authentic teen voices, Zeroes explores what happens when extraordinary abilities collide with ordinary teenage problems. The California setting provides a vibrant backdrop for bank heists, crowd manipulation, and the complicated dynamics of a found family trying to stay together.

Perfect for readers who loved X-Men, Marissa Meyer's Renegades, or other superhero fiction that focuses on flawed characters navigating their powers and relationships.
