Epic Zero: Series Collection, Books 1–3 is an English children’s superhero adventure collection by R. L. Ullman, bringing together the first three books in the Epic Zero series. The stories follow Elliott Harkness, a middle-school boy born into a family of superheroes: his parents, his older sister and even his dog have powers, while Elliott is considered a “Zero,” the superhero world’s word for powerless. As Elliott deals with school, family expectations and the embarrassment of being ordinary in an extraordinary household, danger pushes him into situations where courage, loyalty and quick thinking matter more than flashy abilities. This funny, fast-paced collection blends superhero action, illustrated character profiles, school comedy and a coming-of-age story about feeling left out, leaving readers with the question of what really makes someone heroic when the one thing they lack is a superpower.
