Childhood is a magical time when even the stuff of the day-to-day is exciting and the ordinary often seems extraordinary. A part of this magic is that with just a little imagination, we all might be found to possess true superpowers!
This isn't the first or last book where a child delightedly discovers her own superpowers. But it may be just about the driest, funniest, and sweetest, where the discovery is handled with humor and charm.
One of the book's true pleasures is that it's a girl who discovers her own extraordinary abilities, and when her powers fail, as they must, she discovers them in her mom. All of which leads to a lovely intimacy between the two.

我发现我可以飞的那一天，我意识到我和其他孩子不同，因为我有超能力。我最喜欢的超能力是让东西消失，但不是每一次都行得通。我还喜欢穿墙、隐身、在天花板上走来走去。也许我根本不是人类，因为在水里呼吸、不用碰就移动东西、穿越时空通通都不在话下。但是，我有点儿担心，要是爸爸妈妈知道我有超能力，他们会怎么想？意外发生了。一天，我在飞的时候竟然掉了下来，超能力消失了。我的膝盖好疼，我放声大哭。这时，妈妈给了我一个吻，很奇怪，我马上觉得好多了。你知道吗？我突然意识到，我妈妈也有超能力。
