The prequel novel to the hit Umbrella Academy series on Netflix, written by New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel, introduces a teenaged Umbrella Academy in an original, darkly comic adventure. The Umbrella Academy has always been extraordinary, ready to spring into superpowered action at a moment's notice. However, with Five's disappearance and their fame reaching its peak, Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Ben, and Viktor sometimes yearn for nothing more than normalcy, a desire easier said than done when raised by someone like Hargreaves. Their exacting and tyrannical father figure always demands more, leading Ben to snap during a dinnertime debriefing on their latest mission. Klaus suggests they all need a change of scenery, proposing one night of partying like average teens. With a frat house in a neighboring college town as their destination, they embark on an escapade, unaware of the challenges awaiting them. Pledging not to use their powers under any circumstances, they underestimate the power of teen drama amidst weird earthquakes, eccentric partygoers, and a potential new adversary. Faced with a choice between the night they've always desired and an unexpected mission that could alter everything, the Umbrella Academy must decide their course of action.
