From the publisher

The award-winning #1 international bestseller that’s perfect for fans of The Last Kids on Earth and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 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–he’s 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. * “A non-stop action-packed, laugh-out-loud winner of a story.” –School Library Journal, starred review “A loving tribute to the genre consumed with capes, masks, supervillains, and great responsibility.” –Kirkus Reviews”Readers will enjoy the deadpan narration that reveals the unexpected difficulties of being a modern-day superhero.” –Publishers Weekly
