Andrew Winkel - Author
This is a lively, imaginative collection built around two very young superhero brothers. Expect repeated problem-solving adventures, comic absurdity and genre-hopping, with stories involving villains, magic, science fiction and literary or mythological ideas.
From the publisher: Five-year-old Alex and his three-year-old brother Bryan have secret identities as superheroes. Alex is Raceboy and can move hyper-fast. Bryan is Super Qwok and is a powerhouse of strength. Together the boys protect the Village of Clifton from the mad scientists Dr. Brick and Dr. Devious, from the conniving Mr. Mischief, and from the magical forces of the Wicked Witch. They must also stop smart slime, halt extra-terrestrial invasions, and overcome remote controlled glue. Sometimes ridiculous, other times hilarious, this collection of more than twenty-five stories mixes superhero action with science fiction, fairy tales, mythology, and even classic literature. Originally told by Andrew Winkel as bedtime stories for his children, Raceboy and Super Qwok Adventures has been super-charged with over fifty illustrations by Christopher Brault.
