The Saint's Bones
Book 1 of The Gang series
The Saint's Bones is the story of a group of freshmen who enroll at St. Adalbert's High School and soon find that they are blessed with supernatural powers.
What's more, some of their teachers have similar powers and were members of prior Gangs. The teachers take on the tasks of developing the Gang's powers and instructing them on the purpose of their gifts: to do good.
The Saint's Bones tells the story of how the Gang tries to juggle classes, sports, skirmishes with upperclassmen, and growing up, while battling otherworldly beings who desire to take over the school and, ultimately, the world.
