Saving the world isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s even harder when you\u2019re\nonly nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Donovan used to be a nobody. Well, a smart nobody.\nSkipping ahead a year in school made her the smallest kid in fifth grade and a\ntarget for bullies in search of an easy mark. She tried to follow her father\u2019s\nadvice and ignore them, but it didn\u2019t do any good. Escaping into her favorite\ncomic books at least helped her through the day. Who needs friends anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, dreams find a way to come true, even if nobody\nasked them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aliens bombard the Earth with gigantic glowing red crystals to restore its failing magnetic field. Soon after the seemingly benevolent invasion, Kelly discovers her wildest, happiest fantasy come to life: she has superpowers, along with roughly two percent of the population. Her strong good nature leads her to adopt the heroic persona of \u00dcbergirl. However, she has one major problem\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her dad\u2019s turning into a mad scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s difficult to be a hero, especially when your father\u2019s a bad guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
