Standing Tall — Jeremiah L. Schwennen

In a world of super-heroes and evil villains threatening global domination, the world's premier super-team, the United Alliance, has a new mission. They must seek out the next generation of super-powered omnigeni and train them to become the NEXT ALLIANCE! After less than two months, the Next Alliance is already a mess. Grounded after the events of their last mission, the team is without their mentor, without their freedom, and without hope of ever stepping up to be the heroes they know they can be. But when the young heroine known as Ms. Mega escapes from her prison in the Antipodes Continuum, she sets into motion events that will challenge the Next Allies to stand tall in the face of incredible odds. Together, these six young people could be exactly the heroes this world needs… if they can finally start to trust one another.
