My brother is a superhero by David Solomons was an amazing book. It was funny,crazy,scary,and romantic in all the right places. I would definitely reccomend this novel to other readers.By: Georgia Stahl -Ricco Age 9 years
Si me hubiera quedado en la casa del árbol, yo sería el superhéroe. Pero tuve que bajar a hacer pis. Qué mala pata... Justo en ese momento, al empollón de mi hermano le concedieron seis superpoderes. ¡Y ni siquiera le gustan los cómics! ¡El universo es injusto! Menos mal que estoy yo para explicarle las reglas: * No uses tus superpoderes para pelar patatas. * Todo superhéroe necesita una capa, ¿se conformará Zack con una toalla? * Donde hay un superhéroe siempre hay un supervillano (lo conocerás por la risa: ¡Ua-ja-ja-ja!). * Y lo más importante: a veces, los superhéroes se meten en problemas ¡y necesitan que los rescaten!
