My Brother Is A Superhero – I Could Have Been One Too, Except I Needed A Wee…, to give it its full title, is a fun romp tailor made for kids and tweens which follows eleven-year-old Luke Parker as he deals with his jealousy when older brother Zack receives super powers in their tree house whilst Luke has ducked inside for a toilet break.

Luke struggles to get over the sheer injustice of missing out on the fun, even while helping Zack come to grips with his new powers and new responsibilities – after all, Zack knows nothing about comic superheroes, while Luke knows everything, and if there are worlds to save, Luke is determined to make sure Zack does it in true superhero style.
