About this listen
Get the first three books in the Kid Sensation series.
Sensation (Kid Sensation book one)
Like millions of other kids, Jim grew up wanting to be a superhero. Unlike most of his contemporaries, however, Jim actually had the goods: a plethora of super powers that would have been the envy of any meta on the planet. But when his tryout with the Alpha League - the world's premiere group of supers - goes disastrously wrong, Jim basically becomes an outcast.
Two years later, Jim is still bitter about what happened to him. However, he soon finds himself the centerpiece in an odd turn of events that gives him a second chance at his dream. It’s a lot for one super to handle, even with a smorgasbord of abilities. But if saving the world were easy, everyone would do it....
Mutation (Kid Sensation book two)
Having saved the planet and earned a place with the world’s premiere superhero team, Jim (aka Kid Sensation) is preparing to attend the prestigious Academy, where teen supers from every corner of the globe learn to master their abilities. At the same time, however, he is approached by a mysterious government organization that wants Jim to work for them - and they won’t take no for an answer.
Moreover, at the Academy itself, an insidious and highly contagious virus is running amok through the student population, striking at the heart of their abilities. Students are losing control of their powers, with lethal consequences....
Infiltration (Kid Sensation book three)
Having a surfeit of super powers is great for battling bad guys and saving the world, as Jim (aka Kid Sensation) is finding out, but less useful in dealing with day-to-day situations - like bonding with his superhero father, adjusting to a team environment, and coping with what might be perceived as a growing rivalry between himself and another teen super. On top of all that, despite having a serious girlfriend, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to a new female super he’s just met.
At the same time, some villain has just gotten himself a new toy: an unknown weapon of tremendous power that is able to strike without warning. It quickly becomes clear that the only way to stop this new evil is from within.

It is a genuinely upbeat and positive story with many twists and turns to keep you guessing.
I love the character development of both the lead and side characters.
This is essentially a superhero story from an adolescent perspective but it feels grown up at the same time and covers a multitude of themes without ever straying over any social lines.
I genuinely hope that you give this book series a try.
I received a free review copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review which I have provided above.
This series is an absolute delight start to finish.

Book one Sensation- A teenage boy finds himself talked into trying out to become a super hero but having previously tried out before where it ends disastrously he know he has his work cut out for him. To make matters worse there is also a bounty on his head, it's a good job he is a shape shifter. Things get really serious when a team of super villains start to target him.
This was a great story and a really good introduction to the characters and there individual powers.
Book two Mutation - Jim and his friends are off to super hero academy to learn how to become better hero's. School life is hard enough but add in a group of teenagers with powers and things are bound to go wrong. Then pupils start losing control of there powers and the virus seems to be spreading. Can Jim save the day?
I love the twists this book takes and the way Jim has to out smart his deadly foes and with all the action it keeps you listening. You could easily see this being made into a film.
Book three infiltration- With super heros popularity waning slightly from a few mishaps lately they decided to hold a charity competition between the teen super heros to boost morale. So Jim not only has to compete in the televised event but he also has to take down a mystery force that keep setting of bombs all before someone gets hurts and as the main targets seems to be his father he had better hurry.
I think this was the weaker story out of the three as there was a lot of information about the teenage trails which was fun but it took a long time before Jim engaged the hunt for the bad guys. Still worth listening too though.
I really liked the narrator and he definitely helped bring each of the characters to life.
I can't wait to start the next book in the series.

I found all three audiobooks in The Kid Sensation Series: Books 1-3 series starter, a fun enjoyable listen filed with action, snark and humour. The narrator did a brilliant job giving life to the many different characters and also bringing each of the stories together as a whole. There are a few twists in each of the stories, a few which were obvious in my opinion and a few which were not, but nevertheless, I was thoroughly entertained and will be listening to more audiobooks by the author and narrator, especially this series.
As with all superhero stories, the superhero saves the day and prevails, in this case Jim(Kid sensation) saves the day/world from different foes with a little help from friends along the way in each story whilst learning what it means to become a superhero. But it is the journey that is action packed and entertaining which will have you coming back for the next story. In my opinion, definitely worth a listen.
