Publisher's summary

For as long as he can remember, 14-year-old Joshua Blevins has wanted to be a superhero. He has the brains, the passion, and the heart. There's only one problem: he doesn't have any superpowers. But Josh isn't about to let that stop him.

Determined not to give up on his dream, Josh enlists the aid of his mentor, Captain Fearless, a retired costumed adventurer, to gain entrance to the Burlington Academy for the Superhuman under the false identity of Chance Fortune - a superhuman with the power of having unnaturally good luck.

Masquerading as Chance, Josh rises among the ranks of his fellow students at the Academy, eventually becoming the leader of his own combat team, the Outlaws. Together, Chance and his teammates Psy-Chick, Shocker, Gothika, Space Cadet, Iron Maiden, and Private Justice make new friends, battle new enemies, and ultimately find themselves caught up in a struggle for the fate of the universe. Can Chance and the Outlaws save the universe - and survive their freshman year?

Critic reviews

"A strong echo of The Incredibles runs through Berryhill's debut. Readers… hungry for another semihumorous / semiserious school setting, and lovers of superhero stories in general, will delight in this first volume in the Adventures of Chance Fortune series." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Berryhill’s debut novel kicks off an engrossing series… that takes formulas both old and new and gives them a zippy twist." ( VOYA)

Nick Sullivan's performance was outstanding, as always. He is one of the new audio book rock stars!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

He was not chosen by destiny. He had no higher calling. But that would not stop CHANCE FORTUNE! Now on available on audio, CHANCE FORTUNE AND THE OUTLAWS is a 'coming of age' thrill ride in the traditions of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and the X-men.
