It blends an exhaustive knowledge of fantasy fiction in books, film, television, comics and computer games (which works even for uninitiates) with a well-observed understanding of family relationships, sibling rivalry, friendships and the things that can be horrible about starting secondary school.

It's about two brothers, the younger one is in to superheroes and comics and the older on is on his phone all of the time.I would recommend the book to year eights and under as there are some hard word to read but most of the words are textbook. In the middle of the book the brother gets kidnapped and it was so exciting that I didn't want to stop reading it. There are many other funny things about this book but this is just one thing you will enjoy about it. bought as a jokey type present for a 13 year old who likes to read but doesn't always get along with his brother. His geeky brother Zack gets to be world-saving Star Lad instead, but Luke has his race-against-time moment when Zack is kidnapped.

If you chose this fantastic book you will not regret it you would finish a page and wont to read it over and over again.

He was born in Glasgow and now lives in Dorset with his wife, the novelist Natasha Solomons, and their son, Luke.It was funny that the little brother wanted to be a superhero but he couldn't because he needed a wee. Just when eleven-year-old Luke goes for a wee, his undeserving, geeky older brother meets aliens and gains SUPERPOWERS!

Waterstone's Children's Book Prize winner and perfect for fans of David Baddiel and David Walliams , this brilliantly funny middle grade series is the perfect read for children that love to laugh ages 8+! Winner of the British Book Industry Children's Book of the Year 2016 Shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards 2016 My brother is a superhero, I could have been one too, except I needed a wee. The two are going to have to team up if they’re to save Bromley (and the world) from certain disaster.It involves another boy obsessed with superpowers: Luke, who missed the chance to acquire them because he nipped out for a wee. What it reminds me most of is the TV show 'The Flash' when Wally West is jealous of Jessie Quick when she gets the power of speed and he doesn'.
