About this title

Review:

“As a send-up and a celebration of the comics genre, this packs a wallop.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Readers will zip through it faster than a speeding bullet.” (School Library Journal)

“Not only is Ordinary Boy incredibly funny, he’s extraordinarily smart.” (Argus Leader)

“The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy series will appeal to fans of Captain Underpants in search of new adventures.” (ALA Booklist)

From the Back Cover:

A hilarious new series that proves superpowers are no match for brainpower.

In the town of Superopolis, everyone has a superpower. Everyone, that is, except Ordinary Boy. He's–well, he's pretty much ordinary. But that won't stop him from taking on supervillains like the sinister Professor Brain–Drain....

This spring, welcome to Superopolis and The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy, a clever, funny new series for kids who've outgrown Captain Underpants or anyone who loves The Incredibles and The Tick. Packed with dynamic illustrations and starring a smart young hero who could hold his own with Charlie Bone, Klaus Baudelaire, and Stanley Yelnats, this is a series that kids will find undeniably super!
