Description

Matthew Buzzington must grapple with an unusual superpower in this riotous, laugh-out-loud adventure from the bestselling author of the Mr Gum series.

Matthew Buzzington has a superpower – he can turn into a ﬂy! It’s just that it hasn’t happened yet, which is pretty bad timing really because there are robbers and ﬂying pineapples out to get him. Can he make his superpower work?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
