Sleeping Beauty is perhaps one of the most well-known and best-loved
of all fairy tales. Beautifully illustrated in soft watercolors.
Thanks to an unfortunately tasty-looking radioactive garden slug,
eleven-year-old Murdo McLeod is now the world's worst superhero. His two
powers are pretty unique: the first is sliding up walls. Quite slowly.
The second is secreting slippery slime from his skin. (Yes, just as
disgusting as it sounds.)
In a Scotland full of awesome superheroes, Slugboy has a lot to prove.
No one wants help fighting bad guys from someone with a horrible habit
of (quite literally) messing things up. He's so underrated, in fact,
that when an evil mastermind devises a plan to capture all the other
superheroes, Slugboy isn't even on his list.
Now, Slugboy has to use his not-so-super and oh-so-gross abilities to
free the other superheroes and save the world. Let's hope he doesn't
slip up.
