A new edition of My Brother is a Superhero that launched David Solomans and his brilliant series.
Oh the anguish! Luke is a comic-reading super-hero expert, but he’s gone for a wee at the crucial moment when an alien arrives in his tree-house and it’s his never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother Zach who gets superpowers and instructions to save the universe – life couldn’t get any unfairer. But even super-heroes need back up, and when Zach is kidnapped, it falls to Luke to save his brother and the world.
This is an excellent adventure story with real heart, that’s also properly funny, with humour that comes from the characters as well as the situation.
A new 10th anniversary edition of David Solomans' debut that launched his brilliantly funny and successful series, including fab flip page feature. Packed with heart and soul, these stories are perfect for fans of David Baddiel and David Walliams.
Read the full description
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.

'David Solomons one of the authors I most admire, with his brilliant storytelling, coupled with buckets of humour. This series, which is packed full of superhero references, is engaging from the very first page and has a plot that will keep you reading past your bedtime.' - Jennifer Killick, author of the Crater Lake series
'Peppered with perfectly-judged pop culture references and glorious, silly-clever humour of the most addictive kind, Solomons’ book and its sequels slyly investigate the complex bonds between siblings and friends, sometimes strained by jealousy and misunderstanding, but strong enough to withstand even the most determined attack.' - Imogen Russell Williams, Books for Keeps
