"Fizzing with excitement, and with themes of kindness, friendship, creativity, courage and resilience these two snappily-written tales are a super-duper start to Alex Falase-Koya's action-packed series. Paula Bowles' two-colour illustrations are terrific fun and help ramp that action right up."

Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

". . . a powerful series of one boy's journey to unlock the superhero within."
