<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First published in hardback by Viking, 2015.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The award-winning #1 international bestseller that's perfect for fans of <i>The Last Kids on Earth </i>and <i>Diary of a Wimpy Kid.</i><br></b><br> Luke Parker was just your average comic book fan until his boring, teacher's pet, helps-old-ladies-across-the-street brother Zack got turned into a superhero. Luke can't believe the unfairness of it all--<i>he's</i> the one with the encyclopedic knowledge of everything from Ant-Man to Wolverine! At least he can help Zack--aka Star Guy--with all the important parts of becoming a superhero, like using his newfound powers and deciding whether or not to wear a cape. But when Star Guy gets into super-size trouble, it's up to Luke--and his intrepid neighbor, Lara--to rescue his big brother and, with a little luck, help him save the world. <p/><b>* "A non-stop action-packed, laugh-out-loud winner of a story." --<i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review <p/>"A loving tribute to the genre consumed with capes, masks, supervillains, and great responsibility." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br></b><br><b>Readers will enjoy the deadpan narration that reveals the unexpected difficulties of being a modern-day superhero." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for </b><i><b>My Brother Is a Superhero</b><br></i><br>Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize <br> British Book Industry Awards Children's Book of the Year <p/>"A non-stop action-packed, laugh-out-loud winner of a story. The main characters are finely drawn and their voices are authentic...A great book that will charm reluctant readers as well as anyone who has ever dreamed of being a superhero." --<i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review <p/> "Luke's narration is pitch perfect, providing just the right amount of snark, admiration, and cleverness...A hinted-at sequel will be eagerly anticipated by readers, who will want to return not only for the whizz-bang superhero stuff but also for the memorable and carefully developed sibling dynamic." --<i>BCCB<br></i><br> "A loving tribute to the genre consumed with capes, masks, supervillains, and great responsibility." --<i>Kirkus Reviews<br></i><br> "Comic-book devotees like Luke will appreciate references to familiar characters (Zack initially christens himself Starman until Luke reminds him, "There's already a Starman. You'll probably get sued"), but all readers will enjoy the deadpan narration that reveals the unexpected difficulties of being a modern-day superhero." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>David Solomons is a screenwriter whose first feature film was an adaptation of <i>Five Children and It</i>(starring Kenneth Branagh and Eddie Izzard, with gala screenings at the Toronto and Tribeca Film Festivals).
