Riassunto

Luke is a comic-mad eleven-year old who shares a treehouse with his geeky older brother, Zack. Luke' s only mistake is to go for a wee right at the wrong time. While he's gone, an alien gives his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother superpowers and then tells him to save the universe. Luke is massively annoyed about this, but when Zack is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, Luke and his friends have only five days to find him and save the world... My Brother Is a Superhero was the winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2016.

Recensione:

'[David Solomons] represents the best in contemporary comic writing for children - splendidly zany, full of irresistible trivia, but never scrimping on the emotional undertow that ensures longevity and heart...[My Brother is a Superhero] won the Waterstones prize for children's fiction in 2016, and its two sequels have since been flying off the shelves.' --The Guardian Saturday Review

'Full of comic-hero references, the book is a hoot.' --The Sunday Times Culture Magazine
