What the Family Needed

What the Family Needed (2013) by Steven Amsterdam. What the family needed, apparently, was superpowers. In this imaginative novel, each member of the family finds, in turn, that they have an ability that transcends that of normal people. One has invisibility, one can fly, one can swim with supernatural swiftness, one can read minds. It's an interesting book, one that spans decades, and draws the reader in to its compelling story line. I found it compulsively readable, and plowed through it in about a single day. Recommended. Grade: B+
