My Brother is a Superhero

Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. David Solomons debut children s book is lip-twitchingly funny and clips along thanks to a super-plot and a cast packed with special (if unusual) powers. It should have been Luke - superhero expert and comic-lover - who was given superpowers and instructed to save two universes. While he’s gone, an alien gives his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother superpowers, then tells him to save the universe.

Sara Ogilvie's illustrations add an even more warm, hilarious background to Earle's realistic family. Rory Rooney is unremarkable in almost everything, apart from his capacity to attract the attention of the school bully. Superhero Street is a heartwarming and laugh-out-loud read that celebrates mums as the everyday superheroes they are. Not only is it filled with references of classic comic book heroes, it pulls in any of us who ourselves dreamed of having superpowers.This is a good book however i think that i would have enjoyed it more if there was a bit more action and mystery. I love the book so much that we’ve given it to a few other children in the neighborhood for their birthdays. And, as an asteroid threatens world annihilation, Zack goes missing: investigations lead to the mysterious Crystal Comics. I would recommend the book to year eights and under as there are some hard word to read but most of the words are textbook. David Solomons is the best-selling author of the My Brother is a Superhero books, the first of which won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2016 and the British Book Industry Awards Children's Book of the Year 2016.
