My Brother is a Superhero Series

by
  • (57 reviews)

    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+!

    The series starts with the trope of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just when eleven-year-old Luke goes for a wee, his undeserving, geeky older brother meets aliens and gains SUPERPOWERS! Just his luck: never there when the good stuff happens. 

    But Luke has adventures that await too, and they are NOT for the faint-hearted! He will have to:

    - rescue his kidnapped brother 
    - fight off evil aliens dressed up as gym teachers
    - meet his evil twin, who happens to be a supervillain
    - deal with a time-travel machine
    - and so much more!

    This book series will have readers roll on the floor laughing with tear-inducing giggles! It's also the perfect next step for readers who may have loved the Baby Aliens series and want to up their reading game.

    Book 1: My Brother Is a Superhero (2015)
    Book 2: My Gym Teacher Is an Alien Overlord (2016)
