Can one boy stop a nefarious plot to turn kids into super-mutants?
Maverick Mercury enjoys his life as the sideshow attraction known as “Gator Boy” at Grumbling’s Traveling Circus and Sideshow.
His freakish mutations are the result of some billionaire geneticist’s experiments gone awry. But life as a mutant is about to get worse, as Maverick uncovers a plot to kidnap kids, turns them into super-mutants, and sells their powers to the highest bidder.
Now, Maverick is on a mission to find the mad scientist who may have created him and destroy his sinister plans!

At eleven-years-old, when I didn’t agree
with something, or if somebody was being cruel, my typical was response was,
“Get a life.”
Nine times out of ten, somebody would
respond, “Get a top lip.”
Yes, I was--and still am--a thin-lipped
girl. This insult gave me a complex, so much in fact that at the age of
twenty-eight I tried my hand at a collagen injection to puff out my upper lip.
Did it work? No. All I was left with was a bruised mouth. I looked ridiculous.
What I learned from this experiment is that we all need to be happy with who
and what we are. And that self-positivity starts at a young age.
Picking on people for their physical
attributes is the cruelest form of bullying and it has to stop. We all have our
flaws. We all have our positive traits. This theme is very prevalent in King of the Mutants. I don’t preach, or
bash this lesson in. I just want kids to understand that they are unique and
that there is no such thing as being ‘normal.’
Of course, this doesn’t mean we have to
like everybody we meet, but we can respect the positive aspects about
them.
Maverick is a severely mutated kid with a
heart of gold. It’s my hope kids and adults will love him.
ABOUT SAMANTHA VERANT:
Samantha Vérant is a travel addict, a self-professed oenophile, and a determined, if occasionally unconventional, French chef. Over the years, she’s visited many different countries, lived in many places, and worked many jobs— always on the search for the one thing that truly excited her. Then, one day, she found everything she’s been looking for: a passion for the written word and true love. Writing not only enabled her to open her heart, it led her to southwestern France, where she’s now married to a sexy French rocket scientist she met over twenty years ago, a stepmom to two incredible kids, and the adoptive mother to one ridiculously expensive Bengal cat. When she’s not trekking from Provence to the Pyrénées, tasting wine in American-sized glasses, or embracing her inner Julia Child while deliberating what constitutes the perfect boeuf bourguignon, Samantha is making her best effort to relearn those dreaded conjugations.
