It is the future and Cosmo Hill breaks out of an orphanage
(where they test products on residents) and ends up with a
group of renegades.  This group (along with Cosmo) have a
special ability to see creatures they call parasites.  These
parasites, invisible to most,  appear to be sucking the life
out of wounded or ill people.  This group who call
themselves the Supernaturalist are out to kill as many of
these parasites as they can to save Satellite City..but are
they doing more harm than good.  At the end of this 267 page
book they get involved with forces with which they thought
they would never be aligned.  As in Artemis Fowl, Colfer
once again weaves a marvelous world that kids will love with
powerful corporations, lawyers, and insurance people.  There
is a hint of a possible following book at the end.
