My Brother is a Superhero

Product Information

David Solomons’s My Brother Is a Superhero, illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson, just took the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year award.

While he’s gone, an alien gives his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother superpowers, then tells him to save the universe. His geeky brother Zack gets to be world-saving Star Lad instead, but Luke has his race-against-time moment when Zack is kidnapped.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. And, as an asteroid threatens world annihilation, Zack goes missing: investigations lead to the mysterious Crystal Comics.

Sometimes I found the book got a bit complicated because there were too many things going on at once but I have given it 4 stars because I liked how it was written, I liked the characters (and I liked that some o. Sara Ogilvie's illustrations add an even more warm, hilarious background to Earle's realistic family. Not only is it filled with references of classic comic book heroes, it pulls in any of us who ourselves dreamed of having superpowers. He was born in Glasgow and now lives in Dorset with his wife, the novelist Natasha Solomons, and their son, Luke.also, what is great about this is that it brings you in to this families life and makes you feel very special! Just when eleven-year-old Luke goes for a wee, his undeserving, geeky older brother meets aliens and gains SUPERPOWERS! If you had spent most of your 11 years on earth devouring comics and knew all there was to know about superheroes, their powers and arch enemies, wouldn t you be annoyed if your Maths nerd of an older brother was chosen to join their ranks?
