Description

Lava Boy and his favorite toy, Captain Magma, have saved the day many times. But there's one superhero skill they haven't yet mastered: the ability to fly. It shouldn't be too hard for Captain Magma and Lava Boy to figure out. But it's going to take a whole new set of rules and some help from the brave Star Girl (and her action figure, Meteor Shower) before these superheroes actually reach new heights. This imaginative superhero handbook is the perfect offering for fans of Even Superheroes Have Bad Days and is gender-inclusive, as girls love being superheroes too! Christy Ottaviano Books

Reviews

"An excellent addition to the superhero landscape that finds a new way to tackle topics of making friends and persistence."--School Library Journal, starred review

"This simple, easy-to-read tale explores childcentric issues of relationships, trust, and learning with a humorous touch. Bright illustrations in primary colors with green backgrounds, fun lettering, and occasional speech bubbles evoke the comic-book superhero tradition. There's an apple neatly hidden in this superhero candy treat."--Kirkus Reviews
