Eleven-year-old Luke Parker is a comic-book obsessive who knows everything about superheroes — except how to become one. When aliens accidentally grant powers to his geeky, comic-hating older brother Zack instead, chaos, jealousy and laughter ensue. This five-book paperback collection follows Luke and his extraordinary family through alien invasions, evil twins, body-swaps and time travel, in a series celebrated for its perfect blend of pop-culture wit and heart.. About the Books. David Solomons' My Brother Is a Superhero series is a riotously funny run of five middle-grade adventures that reimagines everyday sibling rivalry on a cosmic scale. It begins with Luke missing his one chance at superpowers by nipping to the loo at the wrong moment, leaving his brother Zack to save the universe instead. The sequels escalate brilliantly: an alien overlord disguised as a gym teacher threatens Earth, a superpowered evil twin from another dimension arrives with a sinister agenda, Luke and Zack swap bodies just as another crisis erupts, and finally a time-travelling cousin recruits Luke to stop rebellious machines from taking over the world. Each book stands alone but rewards readers who follow the whole saga, packed with comic-book references, laugh-out-loud set pieces and a genuinely inventive take on what it means to be a hero when you're the "normal" one in the family. The series won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and has been praised by critics and fellow authors alike for its energy, warmth and note-perfect humour, making it a firm favourite for reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike..
