David Solomons - Author
A lively superhero adventure centres on a comic-loving boy whose brother gains powers. Its main appeal is the clash between Luke’s expertise, Zack’s new role and a world-threatening challenge.
Luke Parker was just your average eleven year-old comic book aficionado until the fateful day when his boring, do-gooding, help-sold-ladies-across-the-street brother Zack got turned into a superhero. Luke can t believe the unfairness of it all he s the one with the encyclopedic knowledge of everything from Ant-Man to Wolverine! But when Zack gets into super-sized trouble, it s up to Luke and his nosy neighbor, Lara to rescue Zack and help him save the world from an asteroid that threatens to destroy them all. Fresh, funny, and filled with references to the pop pantheon, this is a love letter to comic books and the fans who obsess over them.
