Seefer Elliot and the World Aside Ours by P. Mallon

One day, this twelve-year-old boy will save the world. For now, he's the one who needs saving.

Seefer Elliot thinks his life stinks. He's at constant odds with his mother. The kids at school relentlessly tease him. And not a day goes by where something near him doesn't break or burst into flames. Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, his school is overtaken by an otherworldly foe.

Now the kid nobody wanted around is the most wanted one in this existence. He faces the decision to flee for his own safety, or use his burgeoning superpower to battle the enemy who seeks control over it.
