My Brother is a Superhero by David Solomons
The first in a SUPER series – books don’t come much funnier than these!
Packed with heart and soul, these stories are perfect for fans of David Baddiel and David Walliams.
My Brother Is a Superhero was the winner of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2016.
Luke is a comic-mad eleven-year old who shares a treehouse with his geeky older brother, Zack. Luke’s only mistake is to go for a wee right at the wrong time.
While he’s gone, an alien gives his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother superpowers and then tells him to save the universe. Luke is massively annoyed about this, but when Zack is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, Luke and his friends have only five days to find him and save the world…
Small Change for Stuart by Lissa Evans
Stuart Horten, ten years old and small for his age, is about to have the strangest ADVENTURE of his life.
After moving to the boring town of Beeton, he finds himself swept up in an INCREDIBLE QUEST to find his great-uncle’s lost legacy: a magician’s workshop stuffed with trickery and MAGIC. There are clues to follow, unbearable neighbours to avoid and PUZZLES to solve, but what starts as FUN ends up as DANGER, and Stuart begins to realise that he can’t finish the task on his own . . .
