Felix’s father says he suffers from an “overactive imagination.” After believing to have saved his mother’s life, Felix dons his baby blanket and a pair of special shoes to transform into Superkid! After his failing powers humiliate him on his first day of school, Felix begins to doubt if he’s truly special at all. But when he befriends Kiara—a sassy classmate who is far beyond her years in intelligence—and Li—a timid neighbor who believes in Felix’s power—they become a trio of heroes and pull Felix deeper into his fantasy. Superkid, Princess Lady Diva, and Stickman go around helping those in need…as long as their parents believe it’s only pretend. How far can their imagination take them before they all get in trouble?
Oh my gosh, Superkid is such a wonderfully funny and touching tale. Your kids will not only relate to Felix but enjoy his adventures with Kiara and Li. Reminded me much of Superfudge, the book that made me fall in love with reading when I was a kid.
What a delightful book. It was such a fun read, even for this "awful, boring grownup" ! :) I really enjoyed this and the subtle lessons it teaches as well.
