Nominated for the Blue Spruce Award from Forest of Reading

Nalvana feels like all of her friends have some type of superpower. She has friends with super speed (who always beat her in races), friends with super strength (who can dangle from the monkey bars for hours), and friends who are better than her at a million other things.

Nalvana thinks she must be the only kid in town without a superpower.

But then her mom shows Nalvana that she is unique and special—and that her superpower was right in front of her all along.

"Nalvana is a bundle of creativity, spunk, and determination—readers will be happy to know her." - Kirkus

". . . [A] book kids will clamor to read, even as they learn terms like 'anaana', 'inuksuk', and 'panik'. That's its superpower." - School Library Journal
