Rory Rooney likes to be prepared for anything. That sort of planning pays off when youre the smallest kid in your class. Rory is even prepared (mostly) for Tommy-Lee, his nemesis, who starts most days by throwing Rory out of the back of the school bus. Dont be scared, his favorite book says, be prepared. And Rory aims to be. Whats more heroic than that?
But Rory isnt prepared when he suddenly and inexplicably turns green and finds himself stuck in an experimental hospital ward. The doctors are just as baffled as Rory is, and thats when he begins to wonder: What if this isnt caused by his genes, or a virus, or something he ate? What if its something even more extraordinary? After all, more than a few superheroes careers began when they turned green. Could this be a sign that hes meant for something greater? Rory is going to find outand thats going to start with escaping from the hospital.
