About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are stuck in a sibling's shadow or when they are struggling with the perceived unfairness of life's 'rewards.' While it is a high energy adventure, it speaks deeply to the child who feels overlooked despite being the one who has put in all the hard work and preparation. Luke, an eleven year old comic book expert, is devastated when his 'boring' brother is gifted superpowers by an alien simply because Luke stepped away for a bathroom break. The story masterfully navigates the sting of jealousy while celebrating the unique strengths of those without 'powers.' It is a hilarious, fast paced read perfect for middle grade students, especially those who appreciate geek culture and humor. Parents will appreciate how it validates sibling frustration while ultimately modeling loyalty and the importance of being the hero of your own story.
