Oh the anguish! Luke is a comic-reading super-hero expert, but he’s gone for a wee at the crucial moment when an alien arrives in his tree-house and it’s his never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother Zach who gets superpowers and instructions to save the universe – life couldn’t get any unfairer. But even super-heroes need back up, and when Zach is kidnapped, it falls to Luke to save his brother and the world. This is an excellent adventure story with real heart, that’s also properly funny, with humour that comes from the characters as well as the situation. A sequel is promised and can’t come soon enough.

My Brother Is a Superhero Synopsis
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.
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...
My Brother Is a Superhero was the winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2016.
Look out for: My Gym Teacher is an Alien Overlord, My Evil Twin is a Supervillain, My Arch-Enemy is a Brain in a Jar, and My Cousin is a Time-Traveller
