About this deal

Sara Ogilvie's illustrations add an even more warm, hilarious background to Earle's realistic family. David also won the 2018 Laugh Out Loud Awards (Lollies) with the second book in this series, My Gym Teacher is an Alien Overlord.

The funniest thing I found when I was reading the book was the quote "I could have been one too, except I needed a wee". We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. 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. Just when eleven-year-old Luke goes for a wee, his undeserving, geeky older brother meets aliens and gains SUPERPOWERS!When Luke is confronted with Stellar, his superpowered twin from another dimension, he is highly suspicious. bought as a jokey type present for a 13 year old who likes to read but doesn't always get along with his brother. Siblings can be annoying, a responsibility, and the best person to team up with – or all of those things at once! David Solomons’s My Brother Is a Superhero, illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson, just took the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year award. The anti-climactic thing is that the brother that doesn't like super heros becomes one and that makes me laugh.

As a parent I'm so grateful for exciting age appropriate books that keep kids faces buried in them while they get lost in what they are reading. 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. And, as an asteroid threatens world annihilation, Zack goes missing: investigations lead to the mysterious Crystal Comics. In the middle of the book the brother gets kidnapped and it was so exciting that I didn't want to stop reading it. It was funny that the little brother wanted to be a superhero but he couldn't because he needed a wee.In addition to his acclaimed children's fiction, David Solomons has been writing screenplays for many years - his first feature film was an adaptation of Five Children and It, starring Kenneth Branagh and Eddie Izzard. Superhero Street is a heartwarming and laugh-out-loud read that celebrates mums as the everyday superheroes they are. If you had spent most of your 11 years on earth devouring comics and knew all there was to know about superheroes, their powers and arch enemies, wouldn t you be annoyed if your Maths nerd of an older brother was chosen to join their ranks? If you chose this fantastic book you will not regret it you would finish a page and wont to read it over and over again.
