An autistic foster kid who hangs out with superheroes saves the world for a second time. Twelve-year-old Logan, who has an eidetic memory, has memorized the identity of every superhero from database information he accidentally saw during his last confrontation with supervillain Necros. The superhero oversight agency MASC really, really wants to wipe his brain to make sure Necros can't access any of the juicy secret identities, but Logan's loving foster parents won't let them. Logan's been ordered to keep his head down, but it's not that easy to avoid superhero shenanigans when your best friend has superstrength, your foster mom is an alien, and your foster dad is "a mass of dark-matter-infused atoms held together by his leftover human consciousness." New friend Connie from the Dungeons & Dragons club might have a superhero ability, too; he's seen how quickly she heals. Before long, the kids are caught up in new battles, rescuing kidnapped friends, and wondering if superhero business is tied into Logan's own mysterious past. Logan and Connie read White; the previous volume established that BFF Elena is Black and Chicana. It is refreshing that Logan's autism, though frustratingly (and inconsistently) portrayed as a collection of savantlike behaviors, is no roadblock to close and loving relationships with friends and family. Funny and action-packed superhero silliness. (Adventure. 9-12) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

In this sequel to The Unforgettable Logan Foster (2022), Logan, an autistic foundling with an eidetic memory and a determination to track down his birth family, heads for a showdown with death-at-a-touch supervillain Necros--who he believes is also, somehow, his mother. Peters again packs his plot with action and his cast with superpowered friends and foes, the former of which include Logan's loving foster parents, his super-strong BFF Elena, and enigmatic classmate/D & D buddy Connie, whose feelings for him and equally stunning secret identity are revealed in the course of a climactic, massively destructive brawl that wraps up some plotlines but not all (so stay tuned). The author seems to have cribbed his main story arc from the classic Marvel rivalry between the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants--perfectly appropriate as this reads like a comics series in prose form. Readers will cheer the smart, earnest narrator as he works to save the world while heroically seeking clues to what makes other people tick and to his own hidden past.
