" The first book in a laugh-out-loud funny adventure series for 8+ readers from popular radio personalities Greg James and Chris Smith. When Murph Cooper rocks up to his new school several weeks into the beginning of term, he can't help but feel a bit out of his depth. And it's not because he's worried about where to sit, and making friends, and fitting in, or not knowing where the loos are. It's because his mum has enrolled him at a school for superheroes by mistake. And unlike his fellow students, who can all control the weather or fly or conjure tiny horses from thin air, Murph has no special abilities whatsoever. But just because you don't have superpowers, it doesn't mean you can't save the day. Let's hope Murph realises that, and quick –,because not far away is a great big bad guy who is half man and half wasp, and his mind is abuzz with evil plans ...It's time for Kid Normal to become a hero! Perfect for fans of David Solomons, David Baddiel and Danny Wallace. Featuring brilliant illustrations by Erica Salcedo throughout. "

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 9, 2018 In this tongue-in-cheek middle grade adventure, a kid without superpowers nevertheless discovers his true calling when he’s accidentally enrolled in a secret school for superhumans. Eleven-year-old Murph Cooper doesn’t have high hopes for the school, his fifth one in as many years thanks to his mother’s many work-related moves. It doesn’t help when he’s the only normal human in a place where people can fly, control weather, move at super-speed, and summon tiny horses (not every power, or Capability—“Cape” for short—is a winner). Murph unexpectedly makes friends with some of the school’s other misfits, which comes in handy when a bizarre villain attacks the school and captures everyone else. Now only Murph and his friends can save the day. This lighthearted caper from BBC radio stars James and Smith is packed with dry wit, snarky narrative asides, and an unabashed eschewing of subtlety (the school’s headmaster, a former superhero, is Mr. Souperman). Salcedo’s playfully frenetic illustrations complement James and Smith’s silly adventure and its good-natured sense of wonder. Ages 8–12. "
