The first in a SUPER series, packed with heart and soul, these stories are perfect for fans of David Baddiel and David Walliams - books don't come much funnier than these!
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...
Look out for:
Luke's in his tree house with his older brother, Zack, but he needs a wee.
When he gets back, his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother has been given superpowers and told to save not one, but two, universes. Luke is OUTRAGED! Zack doesn't even like LIKE comics! But there are worlds to save and SOMEONE has to make sure Zack does it properly. Especially as he won't even wear a cape...
My brother is a superhero, and I could have been one too, except I needed a wee.
My name is Luke Parker, I'm eleven years old and I live in a mild-mannered part of London with my mum, dad and big brother, Zack. He wasn't always a superhero, but with a name like Zack you've got to wonder if my parents had a hunch that one day he'd end up wearing a mask and cape and saving orphans from burning buildings. I mean, come on! It's not a name, it's a sound effect. It's what you get in a comic when a superhero punches a supervillain. Pow! Blam! Zack!
It seems to me that in life you are faced with clear-cut moments when things could go one way or another. Vanilla or chocolate. Smooth or crunchy. Drop the water bomb on Dad's head, or hold fire. It's up to you which choice to make and sometimes all it takes to change the way your whole life turns out are four little words. "I need a wee."
