Luke is a comic-mad eleven-year old who shares a treehouse with his geeky older brother, Zack. Luke’ s only mistake is to go for a wee right at the wrong time. While he’s gone, an alien gives his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother superpowers and then tells him to save the universe. Luke is massively annoyed about this, but when Zack is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, Luke and his friends have only five days to find him and save the world…
Books don’t come much funnier than these! Packed with heart and soul, this series is perfect for fans of David Baddiel and David Walliams.
My Brother Is a Superhero was the winner of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2016.

This is a great adventure story with villains and hero's and Luke and his brother Zac fight to save the world and their precious tree house. My favourite character is the robotic dishwasher. I would recommend this book.

The ending was really good. There was an asteroid and the brother put on his cape to destroy it.

Epic! When Comic-mad Luke goes for a pee, an alien named Zorbon the Decider bestows his brother Zack with superpowers. Luke was meant to have them but he wasn't there...

It's a fun, adventurous book which includes lots of daring action. Luke's older brother, who has never read a comic in his life, is turned into a superhero when Luke, who always reads comics, goes to the loo! This book would suit children who like adventure books.

This book is great for people looking for a bit of action in a book. It had a few funny bits and kept the pace going throughout.
