Synopsis

Being different isn't a glitch, it's a superpower. Morgan Wallace is a comic book kid with plenty of ideas, a massive imagination, and hyperactivity that keeps life moving fast. With a mind running at warp speed and self-consciousness about doing things that most other kids don't do, staying focused in school isn't easy for Morgan; yet, when trouble strikes, such as encounters with bullies such as BullBorg, his unique way of thinking helps him see solutions that others miss entirely.

Co-written by young author Emerson Daub and his father, HyperKid v BullBorg is an action-packed and humorous sci-fi adventure exploring neurodiversity, school life, and the power of friendship. Perfect for middle-grade readers, kids with ADHD, and fans of fast-paced superhero stories who love relatable characters, comic book vibes, and high-energy thrills!

Recommended for grades 4 and up.

About this title

About the Author

Emerson Daub is a fourth grade student who loves to play with toys and has a healthy interest in cyborgs and super heroes. Having already written a children's book with his father Richard about their pet cats titled Spaulding and Zoom, Emerson expressed interest in writing a new book that combined two of his favorite interests. In writing this new book, Emerson, who has a very creative mind and active imagination, sat down with his father and in one sitting made up the story that would become The Adventures of HyperKid: HyperKid v BullBorg. Richard, who at one time had been a reporter but admittedly has very limited knowledge of cyborgs and modern super heroes, took extremely diligent notes and asked many detailed questions about the characters and the story. After this marathon session, Richard typed up the notes and gave them a voice. Over the following months, the father and son duo worked together to refine the prose into a tight but entertaining first person narrative. They hope the finished work will be enjoyed by all who read it and that it will serve as inspiration for everyone to rise above their personal obstacles and not let them hinder the pursuit of their goals and dreams.
