Summary
A page-turner set in the world of comics and comic conventions! Des is the kid everyone overlooks, even as he longs for some recognition. He doesn't stand out in any particular way — except one: He's a "super-recognizer," someone who… never forgets a face. It's a talent not even he values. But Des wants to change the game. So he comes up with a plan to use his superpower to help his mom's detective squad ID the members of a crime ring that are looking to make off with some valuable items at a comic convention. Instead, he meets Cosmo, who has a power of their own. Can Des's power help Cosmo before spies, police and an international comics empire co-opt Cosmo's power? A twisty story with fantastic page-turning plot points that also delivers a universal message about recognizing the strengths of your true self
