Kid Normal

Book Synopsis

Murph Cooper has a problem.

His new school is top secret, and super weird. His classmates can all fly or control the weather or conjure tiny horses from thin air. And what’s Murph’s extraordinary skill? Um, oh yeah – he hasn’t got one.

Just as well there are no revolting supervillains lurking nearby, their minds abuzz with evil plans. There are!? Right. Ok, then…

It’s time for Kid Normal to become a hero!

Our Review Panel says...

Kid Normal is an engaging read for Upper Ks2.

Murph is an ordinary boy who accidentally ends up at a superhero school. While his classmates have extraordinary superpowers, Murph can’t seem to conjure a single superhero skill. Through a series of hilarious twists and turns, he learns that you don’t need superpowers to be a hero and save the day.

With heroes, villains and loads of humour, this is an action-packed treat that will appeal to reluctant and keen readers alike.
