My second sci-fi series’ second novel shows our four disabled seventh-graders with superpowers on summer vacation. What could go wrong at a coaster park? Here’s an excerpt.

Chapter 7 – Revelation from Villain’s Vacation

Your Seventh Literary Gift
What is novel Writing Like
Jeremy is captured by a robot in Villain’s Vacation

Ah! I pulled out his eyes.

Good job! Hey, everyone, Jeremy’s pulled out the robot’s eyes. Kayla thoughtcast.

I levitated out of the bed. The robot fumbled at its eyes, trying to repair them, but I held the cameras in my hand.

“Destroy the captive,” said the robot cheerily. Its metal fists smashed through the bed where Jeremy had lain, cracking the concrete floor underneath.

Are you all right Jeremy?

Barely.

“Captive not present. Unable to detect.” It whirled its arms around, just missing me in the corner. The breeze kissed my cheeks. I dodged the flailing arms in a horrible game of blindman’s bluff. I tried to get to the door, but it could move faster than I could. Methodically it quartered the room, getting closer and closer to me.

Robot Trouble

Aubrey's superpower is super strength.

Aubrey, hurry! Jeremy’s in danger. Dan says he’s down the hall to your right. Kayla thoughtcasted.

I tried pushing or tripping the robot, but it must weigh over a thousand pounds.

I ducked under its fist. It cratered the wall.

Aubrey crashed through the drywall into the room behind the robot.

“Gotcha!”

The robot instantly spun to smash her with its fist, but all it hit was her whizzing ax. An explosion of sparks filled the room and dazzled my eyes. The impact of the blow knocked Aubrey off her feet, but the robot’s arm collapsed and hung useless. Its other arm struck where Aubrey used to be.

“Fifty percent damage,” commented the robot, sounding pleased. “Releasing all gas.” HISS!

Your Seventh Literary Gift – Escaping Robot Gas

I punched a hole in the drop ceiling with my telekinesis and lifted myself and Aubrey into the rafters of the wood-framed building.

“That should get us out of the gas. Ugh! Sorry, Aubrey, I can’t get through the roof.”

“No problem! I can.” She smashed her ax through the rafters and roof in a few blows. I lifted us up into the fresh air and joined the rest of the team outside.

“My hero!” Aubrey hugged and kissed me as I floated at her eye level.

I felt my face flush red. “But, you rescued me!”

“It was a mutual rescue. Dan and Kayla helped too. A total team effort!”

“Including Dancer,” I added.
