After much experimentation, Maryam Shahidi has learned how to grow herself into a fifteen-foot person and then return herself to her normal size. She is an ace. But as Maryam puts her larger self on display, her friend, Elaine, tries to warn her of the danger, but Maryam is enjoying being the Towering Teenager.
So far, no one has recognized Maryam. But what will happen when Maryam is recognized and her giant size creates mayhem?
=========
This Tor short story is part of the Wild Cards alternative history series where people with superpowers exist. Here Maryam’s confidence grows stronger with each appearance of the Towering Teenager despite the fact that her family seems to find no pleasure in the accomplishments of the aces.
Maryam seems like a typical teen, wanting to try her powers just to see what she can do. The story moves quickly reaching a denouement that hints at a promising future for the Towering Teen. [But many will wish to know what comes next for Maryam.]
Highly recommended. ( )
