Janelle Hickman is an idealistic young rich girl with no friends and lots of people that want her for ransom. Her solution? Hire superheroes to be her best friends/bodyguards. Unfortunately, there's a twist to this story--this is modern New Jersey. And superheroes don't exist in modern New Jersey. Instead, six normal people answer Janelle's ad, each of them with a fake superpower and a desire for the pay Janelle has promised (or maybe just friends)--Karen McAllister, a graduated high school student looking to raise money for college; Theodore "Ted" Mitchell, a socially awkward young animal lover hoping to aid with his father's medical bills; Lulu Adessi, a spirited and creative homeschooler who wants to travel the world; Julian Kingston, a handsome, polite model wanting to prove to his talented family that he's more than just good looks; Margaret "Maggie" Fuller, a retired military "brat" who's forgotten how to make new friends; and Homer Roderick Hernandez, a kind and softhearted Puerto Rican who wants to help his family travel to the mainland. All six have vastly different personalities, goals, and powers--but they end up being just the friends Janelle (and each other) need.
