I liked this but I think it would be better if you like superheros.

It was fiction and fantasy. My favourite character is Lara because she is very supportive and kind. I would recommend this book because it is really entertaining and funny.

It was a good mix between humour and drama. I liked Miss Dunham because she had lots of conspiracy theories and took everything very seriously. I would recommend this book to a 9 yea old.

I think that it was a good book but the reason I rated it 3 is because it mentioned the world being blown up. That scared me! But they save the world from being blown up and that was the best part.

I LOVE this book, I read it every night before bed and never wanted to put it down. My favourite character is Luke because I love his elaborate plans.

It was fiction. This book was amazing because one of the superheroes (Dark Flutter) used truly amazing powers by making a huge shield with pigeons! Also, the brain (Lor-Ayn) was very cunning and sly and tricked Luke, Dark Flutter, Serge and Star-Lad about 3 times. 1 of them was taking Star-Lad's powers, the most powerful powers in the Earth. This book was spectacular and I definitely recommend it to others.

Luke has swapped places with his superhero brother, Zack, and has to battle in his brothers body with newly found superpowers against a brain in a jar.
