My Brother Is a Superhero

Luke could have been a superhero, except he needed to wee. Super-exciting, laugh-out-loud funny, and with enough heart to fill an entire galaxy.

A brilliantly funny story from a meteoric new voice in children' s fiction

Luke is a comic-mad eleven-year-old who shares a treehouse with his geeky older brother, Zach. Luke's only mistake is to need a wee right at the wrong moment.

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. Luke is massively annoyed about this, but when Zach is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, Luke and his friends only have five days to find him and save the world.

My Brother Is a Superhero by David Solomons is a thrilling adventure that combines humour, sibling rivalry, and the exciting elements of superhero lore.
