Omschrijving

Welcome to 2048. Every graduate of the B.E.S.T. Program can receive a bionic enhancement as a rite of passage in this inclusive tween series. For Ace Wells, it is just the beginning of his epic augmentation journey in book one of this near-future sci-fi trilogy.

Eleven-year-old Ace Wells's dream has finally come true: he is a new cadet in the B.E.S.T. (Biological Enhancement Systems Technology) Program. Until now, he's been living in the shadow of his superstar brother, Finn--but not for long.

This is new Ace! He knows he can make his mark on the world with SuperSoar wings, but on day one, nothing goes as planned. The antagonistic elevator AI Otis wants to eat his belongings, the physical feats set by his tough-nut coach are impossible, and his celebrity roommates are far from welcoming.

It becomes crystal clear that Ace is not prepared to fly--in any sense of the word.

As tensions build, Ace has a sinking suspicion that there's something more going on at B.E.S.T. than meets the eye. Will he ever make it to graduation and get the aug of his dreams? Join Ace and find out as he tests his strength and grit in this page-turning middle grade adventure!


Becoming a hero is about more than wings. What happens when making friends is harder than flying, and the school itself might be the biggest danger of all?


  • Found Family: Ace lands in a dorm with celebrity roommates who want nothing to do with him. To survive his first semester, he'll have to turn his new boxmates--a famous inventor's son, a fierce athlete, and a tech genius--into allies.
  • Kids with Superpowers: In a high-tech school where every student gets a bionic upgrade, Ace has his heart set on SuperSoar wings. But first, he has to pass impossible physical challenges and face off against a hungry elevator AI named Otis.
  • Dealing with Bullies: Between a rival cadet who wants to see him fail and a superstar older brother who overshadows his every move, Ace has to learn to stand up for himself and prove he's more than just "Finn's little brother."
  • A High-Stakes School Adventure: The B.E.S.T. Program is supposed to be a dream come true, but Ace quickly realizes there are secrets hiding in the Tower of Power. Uncovering the truth might be the most heroic thing he can do.
