Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Denial by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Denial is the first book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I haven’t read her work before, but I enjoyed this book. At first I thought it was going to be cheesy because of the names of the city and characters. They were not very original, using names like Super Structure, Hero High, and Captain Fantastic. Despite that, I am glad I stuck out the story because I ended up loving it. Its a great start to a series that I think will be awesome. The writing style is very descriptive and you feel like you’re right there alongside the characters. It seems like The Incredibles meets XMen, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
The book follows 17 year old Friday, who has powers. She is shipped off to Hero High, which is a school for those with powers, but doubles as a reality show. They are followed by cameras, and merchandise is made to look like them and sold in the malls. These super kids are assigned a team and a mentor, have their wardrobes picked for them, the whole nine yards. Friday is trying to stay in the shadows, but keeps finding herself in the spotlight.
