2023 NH Literary Awards Finalist for Outstanding Work of Young Adult Fiction.
At the crossroads of supernatural and human potential, an anxious teen finds a mystical world within himself, unleashing powers he didn’t know he had.
Will Freeman is more anxious than other teens. When his new friend Lily Powers invites herself over and the two go treasure hunting in his attic, they discover a peculiar change purse that belonged to Will’s father. Lily accompanies Will as he sets out to learn about the change purse and his father’s disappearance. After a stranger approaches Will and Lily in a supermarket and promises answers to Will’s questions, a string of inexplicable events make Will question his sanity. His fears come crashing in on him when Lily is abducted by the A. U., the Agents of Unchange, who are equipped with futuristic weaponry. They are looking for the one person who embodies the ability to open Infinity. Amidst a backdrop of supernatural chaos, Will discovers he is super human.

Read review…
“Well done, sir, well done. You’ve written a really good story that’s gotten me thinking about how we view the world.”
—Robin B., Editor
“The characters and specific moments from the story have really stuck with me over time, which I think is the mark of a wonderful, thoughtful read. Highly recommend!”
— Kate H.
“This entertaining drama could almost double as a how-to for developing psychic powers.”
— R.W.W. Greene, Author
“Can a teenage boy come into his own to save his family and possibly the world? It sounds like a great story— and it is. Will and his friends are likable, stubborn, and endearing. Plot turns the pages. The superhuman aspect adds another dimension. Loved it!”
—Kathleen H., Writer
“What a fun, energetic read! I was fascinated by the story from the very beginning, and I had a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep. Dan Pouliot did an incredible job with the concept of human potential, creating a riveting read that kept me wanting more through every twist and turn.”
—T. Curry
“A must read for only one dollar. You can’t beat it. Like an onion, you will peel your way down to the core of being on the cusp of witnessing humans with gifts we ourselves view as a fantasy, yet it is in our reality if we pay attention to the subtleties the woven through this incredible story.”
—Cais Thomas
“This is the first novel I read in more than I can remember and it didn’t disappoint, pretty much the opposite! I love how the stories mix together, the fast pace of the plot, how there are many insights woven into the narrative, the relatability of the characters and how they develop. It was a very pleasant read and I recommend it for those of you who like thrillers, suspense and the inner workings of the mind.”

“Super Human is a unique version of what it could look like to have a superpower in the real world. The characters are well developed, relatable and yet flawed in their own ways.”
—Eric Demarest, Author
