My Brother is a Superhero Series

by
(63 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)
