Mab is the "normal" one, despite Bourne Memorial High School banning that term. She's meticulous about words and definitions, aware that normal isn't truly normal in Bourne. Monday is particular about everything else—abbreviations, contractions, lies, typos, and even clothing colors on specific days. When the local library closed, she hid books throughout her home to keep reading. Mirabel, the smart and slow one, relies on a wheelchair and a voice app for communication, but her right arm and mind function perfectly. Their mother, Nora, named her triplet daughters with "M" names to manage them better. As a single parent, she juggles two demanding jobs—Bourne's only therapist and bartender—while also leading a class-action lawsuit against Bison Chemical. Seventeen years ago, the Bison plant polluted the river, harming the community and leading to a generation born with issues. Nora has fought tirelessly for justice, assuring her daughters they are perfect as they are. When a new student turns out to be the CEO's grandson and Bison plans to reopen the plant, the girls join their mother’s fight to uncover the truth and stop the reopening. This story blends small-town mystery with a girl-superhero narrative, exploring themes of love and family, evoking both laughter and tears.
