My Brother is a Superhero

Product Information

His first feature film was an adaptation of 'Five Children and It' (starring Kenneth Branagh and Eddie Izzard, with gala screenings at the Toronto and Tribeca Film Festivals). 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'. my most favorite part was when Luke needs a wee but when he comes back and realises his brother Zack is a super hero he is devastated that it wasn't him.

The funniest thing I found when I was reading the book was the quote "I could have been one too, except I needed a wee". bought as a jokey type present for a 13 year old who likes to read but doesn't always get along with his brother. 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.However, when Zack is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, it is Luke and his friends who come to the rescue. Fast-moving, very funny, and gleefully mining the comic potential of the superhero genre, this is an inventive story that handles the combined frustrations and affections of sibling relationships with sensitivity.

It involves another boy obsessed with superpowers: Luke, who missed the chance to acquire them because he nipped out for a wee. If so you should try it because one of the characters will tell you how they lost a one in a lifetime opportunity. One brother is a comic book kid and the other brother prefers to have nothing to do with comic books.It is infused with the spirit of larger than life heroes and colourful comic book trivia yet at its heart is a touching relationship between siblings… so brilliantly plotted that one never knows what to expect next. David Solomons is the best-selling author of the My Brother is a Superhero books, the first of which won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2016 and the British Book Industry Awards Children's Book of the Year 2016. Siblings can be annoying, a responsibility, and the best person to team up with – or all of those things at once! And, as an asteroid threatens world annihilation, Zack goes missing: investigations lead to the mysterious Crystal Comics. 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+!

This is a good book however i think that i would have enjoyed it more if there was a bit more action and mystery. Just when eleven-year-old Luke goes for a wee, his undeserving, geeky older brother meets aliens and gains SUPERPOWERS! That even the smallest of things (like going off to have a wee) could make you lose the chance of fame and living with the richest of people.David Solomons’s My Brother Is a Superhero, illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson, just took the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year award. Luke is massively annoyed about this, but when Zack is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, Luke and his friends have only five days to find him and save the world.
