Kid Normal
by Greg James and Chris Smith
Murph is enrolled by mistake at a school for young superheroes, where everyone has a power except him, and a villain is picking pupils off.
A story about children and a grown-up villain, funny and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Mild peril
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Kid Normal series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
