My first thought when I saw this series is "Did they write another dystopian novel?!" I had just finished the Divergent and Maze Runner series and was looking for my next fix. It was SO worth it. The main character's name is Michael Vey, who is just another nerdy kid at his school. On top of that, he has torettes, which causes him to 'tic'. [Michael] has powers that let him electrocute people. He found out when he was younger and shocked his mother while she was bathing him. He doesn't know his life is going to turn upside down in a matter of days.
Michael learns the girl that he's been crushing on, Cheerleader, Taylor Ridley also has powers. He finds out after a death threatening Google search about a company called Elgen.
Follow Michael, his best friend Ostin, and Taylor, as they meet super humans like them, and nickname themselves: The Electroclan
