By the granted cosmic superpowers- this book is the best! Amaran I got this at the library and wasn’t even 3 chapters in before I was laughing my X-ray vision goggles off. This clever book is written from the viewpoint of the younger brother Luke, who has to teach his brother Zack how to be a superhero named Star Guy… with the help of his best friend (Serge) and his brother’s crush’s little sister (Laura). At first, I was unsure about this book. Boys sometimes make a big deal out of gross stuff that girls like me really could not care less about. But these boys don’t. They’re cle. 5 stars from the 8 year old in our house digby2005 Per my 8 year old "Good for kids who like comics AND parents who want to read regular books. I really liked this,and I hope another book about a friend becoming a super hero" It was really interesting, and had lots of action. I couldn't wait to finish it, and now I want to read more like it". Super duper book for a non-reader 8 year old Candace Drimmer The 8 year old in my life has issues with reading. Enough said, but this was one of the summer reads at his school. So many pages he grumbled.Then he began to read. And was engrossed, begging "Mummy, can I read a few more pages PLEASE!!"
Behind every great superhero is a very angry younger brother.Luke Parker was just your average comic book fan until his boring, teacher’s pet, helps-old-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! At least he can help Zack—aka Star Guy—with all the important parts of becoming a superhero, like using his newfound powers and deciding whether or not to wear a cape.But when Star Guy gets into super-size trouble, it’s up to Luke—and his intrepid neighbor, Lara—to rescue his big brother and, with a little luck, help him save the world.
VERDICT A great book that will charm reluctant readers as well as anyone who has ever dreamed of being a superhero. His brother knows nothing about being a superhero—he won't even wear a cape! Now it's up to Luke to teach Zack, aka Super Guy, how to act like a superhero, to help him discover his powers, and to find out who or what Nemesis is, all while keeping Zack's new identity a secret. The main characters are finely drawn and their voices are authentic. The format of the book with its font size and generous white space make it accessible and appealing.
