Behind every great superhero is a very angry younger brother.

Luke Parker was just your average comic book fan until his boring, teacher’s pet, helps-old-ladies-across-the-street brother Zack got turned into a superhero. Luke can’t believe the unfairness of it all—he’s the one with the encyclopedic knowledge of everything from Ant-Man to Wolverine! At least he can help Zack—aka Star Guy—with all the important parts of becoming a superhero, like using his newfound powers and deciding whether or not to wear a cape.

But when Star Guy gets into super-size trouble, it’s up to Luke—and his intrepid neighbor, Lara—to rescue his big brother and, with a little luck, help him save the world.

Praise for My Brother Is a Superhero

Winner of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize
British Book Industry Awards Children’s Book of the Year

“A non-stop action-packed, laugh-out-loud winner of a story. The main characters are finely drawn and their voices are authentic…A great book that will charm reluctant readers as well as anyone who has ever dreamed of being a superhero.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Luke’s narration is pitch perfect, providing just the right amount of snark, admiration, and cleverness…A hinted-at sequel will be eagerly anticipated by readers, who will want to return not only for the whizz-bang superhero stuff but also for the memorable and carefully developed sibling dynamic.” —BCCB

“A loving tribute to the genre consumed with capes, masks, supervillains, and great responsibility.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Comic-book devotees like Luke will appreciate references to familiar characters (Zack initially christens himself Starman until Luke reminds him, “There’s already a Starman. You’ll probably get sued”), but all readers will enjoy the deadpan narration that reveals the unexpected difficulties of being a modern-day superhero.” —Publishers Weekly
