Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets BigHero Six when a group of young but
defective superheroes attempt to save the day!
Laser vision isn't so hot when you're cross-eyed, and supersonic
flight's a real downer when motion sickness keeps you grounded.
Twelve-year-old Marshall Preston is a Defective--a person with
superhuman abilities that are restricted by some very human setbacks.
While other kids are recruited to superhero teams, Marshall's stuck in
seventh grade with a kid who can run at super speed but can't turn a
corner, another with a radioactive peanut allergy that turns him into a
swollen Hulk, and a telepath who reads everyone's thoughts out loud.
Defectives like Marshall aren't exactly superhero material, but when he
uncovers a plot to destroy one of the greatest superhero teams of all
time, Marshall and his less-than-super friends set out to prove that
just because you're defective doesn't mean you can't save the day.
With full illustrations throughout and a funny, heartwarming story,
Superfail is the perfect book for reluctant young readers and the
superhero fan.
