"Superhero in the Suburbs . . . Life just got a lot more shocking."


Adaline Sparks isn’t your average teenager. And it’s not her bright blue hair that sets her apart from the crowd. By day, she plays the part of a high school senior. But at night, she dons a padded suit and mask and patrols the streets as Volt: the super-shocking superhero of The City. Life as a superhero was going great until her father decided that it was time for a transfer: to small-town Shelton, Indiana. Adaline is haunted by one question: Can a superhero survive in the crime-free Midwest? But Shelton isn’t as crime-free as Adaline expected and before long she stumbles onto the biggest case she has ever uncovered. Along the way, she finds friendship with a variety of Shelton residents, including her attractive next-door neighbor, a Volt-adoring sophomore, and an aspiring journalist who is only steps away from uncovering her secret identity. But one man has already uncovered her secret: a fellow, flying super who is a little too arrogant for his own good. Can she ignore the attraction she has for this flyboy and partner with him long enough to uncover the great crime in Shelton?

Celebrity Takes of Bolt from the Blue Characters

It's what we all love to know: Celebrity photos!!! I'm not the best at this game . . . and I love some of my choices more than others. However, I did want to give you an idea of how I see some of my characters. I don't look so much at hair or eye color, although some are similar. Rather, I look at faces and how they have previously acted.

Some of the actresses/actors that I picked are from their younger days, so bear with me, okay?! I suppose I'm getting to that age when I need to find all the young stars, but they all seem like they're from Disney, wouldn't ya know?! LOL. Without further ado:

Adaline Sparks: I see her as a younger Rachael Leigh Cook. With blue hair and green eyes. (And in case you didn't know, Adaline is a natural blonde.) Why RLC, you may ask me?! Because even though she acts tough, the fact still remains that Adaline looks cute. I don't know about you, but I would never have guessed that "cute little Addie" (never call her that to her face!) would be a crime-fighting machine:

(For your viewing pleasure, I have also added the first girl I envisioned as Adaline. I have no clue who she is and I'm pretty sure that I photoshopped her hair color, but I am forever grateful.)












Up next, we have Joshie boy. I had one view of him when I first started the book. But I think I found somebody who fits him better. (Shout out to Music.Junkie4 for our talks on Supernatural and the beautiful JENSEN ACKLES!) Josh Watson has brown hair and blue eyes, in case you forgot.




And now, our very dear water boy, Kevin Brenton. He has brown hair and gray eyes. And who other to play him but General Hospital star (don't mock me, I just watched it for one summer and happened to fall in love with Spinelli's character!) Bradford Anderson.


Next is our like favorite sophomore. (Who IS played by a Disney star, but I wouldn't have it any other way.) Kelsey West has blond hair and brown eyes and looks an awful lot like: Emily Osment.


I made Sophy Peterson to be the most pretty but natural girl in the story. So she has to be played by somebody with natural perfection. Naturally. ^_^ As much as I can't stand Lana on Smallville, I have loved Kristin Kruek since I first saw her in that one rendition of Snow White. Ergo, Sophy is the epitome Kristin.


Blake Pierce has that "tough" rebel guy look going for him, so we're going to bring back my favorite tough rebel guy (you know, before he became a nurse in Heroes), Milo Ventimiglia. Blake has brown eyes and black hair.


And now for his girlfriend the "lovely" Kathryn Florence. Another Heroes character, also before she played in Heroes. This is a la Drive Me Crazy Days. Ali Lauter with shorter hair.


Josh's best friend, Dustin Sullivan, also plays quite attractive character. Channing Tatum. Only, you know, with blonde hair, not brown.




Next up is Josh's cousin, the wanna be British, cheerleading superstar, Michelle. Although she's not a mean girl, she's played by one! Rachel McAdams.


And now for A.J. Hughes. I've never seen this guy play anybody BUT jerks. And I, so endearingly, call this actor monkey-face. I don't care if you find him attractive, since his days on O.C., every time I see him, I say MONKEY-FACE. Cam Gigandet:

Finally! I wanted to finish off the Band with the drummer: Bobby Hall, and the bass player, his twin brother: Greg. At first, I made them identical twins. But when the gorgeous Jared Leto wouldn't leave my head for Greg (does anybody else love MSCL??), I knew I just had to make his brother, Shannon, Bobby. And so . . . take about a decade off this pic and make Bobby bald and you have the rest of The Band.
