And it's not because he's worried about where to sit, making friends, and fitting in. It's because his mom has accidentally enrolled him at a school for superheroes. And unlike his fellow students, who can control the weather or fly or conjure tiny horses from thin air, Murph has no special abilities whatsoever. <p/>But Murph's totally normal abilities might just be what the world needs. Because not far away is a great big bad guy who is half man and half wasp, and his mind is abuzz with evil plans . . . and when he comes after the best and the brightest, it's up to Murph to be the real hero. <p/>With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this laugh-out-loud story proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Should appeal to readers who enjoy the Captain Underpants and Wimpy Kid series. - <i>School Library Connection</i> <p/>Packed with dry wit . . .
