Paperback, $12.99

Middle Grade Fiction

Luke could have been a superhero, except he needed to wee but that won’t stop him saving the world! Super-exciting, laugh-out-loud funny, and with enough heart to fill an entire galaxy.

From the author of My Brother is a Superhero.

Zack and Lara have superpowers. Luke has new school shoes and a burning sense of resentment. He KNOWS that aliens disguised as gym teachers are about to attack Earth but will anyone listen? No. So one dodgy pact with a self-styled supervillain later, and Luke is ready to save the world. He just need to find his trainers.

“Screenwriter Solomons demonstrates that he’s equally at home with high-octane comic-book action and more ordinary topics like the pain of being overshadowed by an older sibling, superpowered or otherwise.”

– Publisher’s Weekly
