My brother is a superhero by David Solomons

Hello! As you may know, Waterstones Children's book prize is coming up soon and my sister got a bundle of the books. The first one I read was My brother is a superhero by David Solomons published by Nosy Crow. So here's a review of it.

Luke, an eleven-year-old who loves comics, has a treehouse which he shares with his nerdy older brother Zack. But, Luke makes the big mistake of going to the toilet right at the time his older brother, who had never read a comic in his life got given superpowers. Luke is outraged. Zack is told he has to save two worlds and there's no time for moping as someone has to make sure Zack's going to do it right. But, one day, disaster strikes and Zack gets kidnapped by his arch-enemy Nemesis. Luke and his friends have to save him before it's too late.

My favourite part was when Zack got kidnapped and Luke and his friends had to go and save him. It was filled with immense drama and tension. I just had to know if they were going to succeed, so I might have ended up reading way past my bedtime - fingers crossed my mum doesn't read this post.

I would rate this book 4/5 stars and I would recommend it to boys or girls aged 8-10 who love comics or adventure stories.

Here are a few quotes on the book:

Steve Coogan says: “You’ll laugh until you fall out of your tree house!”

Kirsty Stansfield, Fiction Editor at Nosy Crow says says: "The idea behind this book is genius. It’s funny and clever, and the way Luke steps up to help his older brother despite the MASSIVE UNFAIRNESS of it all is a joy to read. My Brother is a Superhero is a great book destined for greatness.”
