Bookroo's summary

Irwin Snackcracker, a fourth-grader, bites into a Fudgsicle and gains superpowers, becoming The Ice Cream Kid. With his superhero Grandpa and a sarcastic pigeon sidekick, he must learn to harness his abilities. As Irwin grapples with his new identity, he faces a chilling challenge: the villainous lunch lady, Sweaty Crocker, who threatens the school. Can Irwin master his powers in time to save the day, or will his love for ice cream lead to a sticky end? Dive into a world where brain freezes unlock heroism and lunchtime becomes a battleground.

From the publisher

Introducing Irwin Snackcracker, seemingly ordinary fourth-grader who is transformed through the power of a Fudgsicle into superhero extraordinaire: The Ice Cream Kid! When Irwin Snackcracker leaves for school in the morning all he can think about is pizza, tater-tots, and winning first place in the booger contest. He leaps down the bannister, quickly eats breakfast before brushing his teeth and dashing out the door. Little does Irwin know, this day will change his life. He is just one brain freeze away from superpowers! When Irwin unexpectedly scores the last Fudgsicle left in the ice cream cart at school, he finds out that he is no longer an ordinary fourth grader. Taking a big bite of the delicious frozen treat transforms Irwin into “The Ice Cream Kid” who, with a steady supply of ice cream, has the ability to run at lightning speed and talk to animals along the way!
