Hero Club - Aften Brook Szymanski - Bog

Do-gooder Ridge Hoffman, and his bud Nash Dunham, a playboy wannabe, both seek purpose in high school wasteland of popular hierarchy. When Nash spies a secret message delivered to Ridge, which Ridge goes out of his way to downplay, the pair are pitted against each other for social standing. Once Ridge reads the card inside the envelope his world is infused with special power. With the power comes, pain, responsibility, and an in with the cool kids. Nash is left watching from the sidelines. He goes to extremes to obtain a club invite of his own. But there's more at play than popularity. Ridge learns the power of the club when he accidentally causes a town-wide EMP-like explosion knocking out all technology. When Nash becomes corrupted by power, he seeks the worst supporters-ones who already know about the Hero Club and have plans to use its influence for selfish gains. All Nash has to do is force Ridge to overload his mind. But once he's played his part, Nash is also obsolete.
