What happens when a seemingly average seventh grader discovers he has superpowers . . . and then realizes his life just got super complicated? Find out in this action-packed adventure perfect for young readers.

“A spectacular new superhero.”—Kathi Appelt, Newbery honoree and National Book Award finalist


As a baby, Noah Minor miraculously—and mysteriously—survived a fall from a sixteen-story balcony. But ever since then, Noah’s life has been pretty boring.

As he enters seventh grade, Noah is hoping to be less ordinary and more extraordinary, like his best friends, trumpet prodigy Rodney and the practically perfect Haley. So Noah’s sure his star is on the rise when during a standard vision test, he learns he can manipulate gravity and is recruited to train with Gravitas, a top-secret government agency!

Noah thinks his life will now be awesome, but instead, he has a whole new set of problems. The biggest one: His great-uncle Saul is on Gravitas’s most-wanted list . . . but might also be the only person who can help Noah reach his full potential.

Reviews

The Minor Miracle has everything! Superheroes, bad guys, epic trumpet solos, slam dunks, and hilarious hijinks galore. It will make your heart ZING!”—Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth
 
The Minor Miracle is major fun! Noah and his super crew may stretch the laws of physics with their fantastic feats, but it’s the friendships that give this story its true power. You will find yourself rooting for Noah—and laughing out loud—all the way!”—Christina Soontornvat, bestselling author of The Tryout

“A fresh, fun, and fantastic take on what it means to be a superhero!”—Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Ancestor Approved and Sisters of the Neversea

“We might think we know all about superheroes, but Meredith Davis, in her debut novel, gives us a spectacular new one—Noah Minor. In a plot filled with twists and turns, readers will discover the same thing Noah does—that superheroism isn’t always about saving the world using extraordinary powers. Sometimes it’s about saving your best friends, and that requires the most amazing power of all: love. That alone is a miracle.”—Kathi Appelt, Newbery Honoree and National Book Award finalist

“This is a fast-paced, fun little story for middle schoolers. It raises some interesting What would you do? questions for kids concerning the use of special abilities, service to others, family responsibilities, and friendship.”—PluggedIn

“Humor, heart, and super heroics—along with some great life lessons—await young readers.”—Reading Is My Superpower

“A fun adventure story readers won’t want to put down!”—Kids Bookshelf

“This is an entertaining story of growing up with superpowers and making good choices.”Imagination Soup Expand reviews
