Cora Saros is trying her best to join the family business of theft and intergalactic smuggling. Unfortunately, she' s a total disaster. After landing herself in prison following an attempted heist gone wrong, she strikes a bargain with the prison warden: He' ll expunge her record if she brings back a long-lost treasure rumored to grant immortality. Cora is skeptical, but with no other way out, she assembles a crew from her cellmates-a disgraced warrior from an alien planet; a cocky pirate who claims to have the largest ship in the galaxy; and a glitch-prone robot with a penchant for baking-and take off after the fabled prize. But the ragtag group soon discovers that not only is the too-good-to-be-true treasure very real, but they' re also not the only ones on the hunt for it. And it' s definitely a prize worth killing for.
Praise for The Good for Nothings: With this star-hopping romp, Banas (The Supervillain and Me) pits her eclectic band of larceny-minded misfits against a hostile universe, forcing them to come together as a makeshift family. . . . The quirky characters, who are fleshed out by attributes such as tough Anders' s constant flight sickness and Elio' s insistence on a favorite food despite his inability to eat, share an endearing earnestness. A fun, galaxy-spanning treasure hunt with plenty of action and heart. --Publishers Weekly Praise for The Supervillain and Me: Get ready for a wild ride in this zany, high-action thriller about good versus evil in the comic-book-universe city of Morriston. . . . Best of all, with a nod to gender equity, Abby does just fine helping to right her world in the climactic final scene, even without superpowers. --BooklistUnderneath all of the action and intrigue of this adventure lies an interesting premise: living amongst superheroes from the point of view of the ordinary and powerless. Banas adeptly keeps readers guessing about Iron Phantom' s identity and provides plenty of romantic tension, which will satisfy even die-hard fans of the genre. --School Library JournalHilarious . . . A zany, action-packed adventure . . . Especially appealing is Abby discovering that her capabilities are different but equally as significant as the boys' , with neither spandex nor superpowers necessary. --VOYAI can already tell you that Danielle Banas is going to become one of my insta buy authors-her writing style has to be one of my favorite that I' ve read in a while, and I can' t wait to see what she comes out with next. --Vibrant ReadsDanielle Banas has written a stunning and heart-warming debut about family, first love, and what it really means to be a hero. --Buried in a Bookshelf
