BEING A SUPERHERO IS THE BEST THING EVER, RIGHT WRONG!

HELLO! My name is PIZAZZ and Im a superhero . . . You probably think thats really AWESOME, and while it can be, its also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying.

I guess it was sort of going OK (I say, sort of I still have to wear a silly cape and save the world all the time) until this NEW KID showed up, and started WOWING everyone with their super powers. Yep, SUPER POWERS just what this town needs, another super . . . Who just happens to have the coolest name ever: Jett.

And now, because of Serena and her gang of Populars, I have to compete against Jett in an almighty and ultimate SUPER-OFF.

But its fine. I mean, even if I lose, theres space for two SUPERS in this school, isnt there!

Hilariously narrated by reluctant superhero Pizazz, and brimming with Sophys distinctive illustrations and comic-book strips.
