Middle Grade Madness! discussion

Feel free to recommend as many superhero books as you like below!
Please only recommend Middle Grade books. (Because this is a middle grade group and I know people will benefit more if the books are only middle grade.)

Please clearly label your recommendation(s) from other comments you might make like “I love that book” or “I’m reading that book right now”, etc.

Please use book links like: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone or to help people navigate around GR to find the book(s) easily.

Please include some extra details on the book (if it’s part of series, if it’s part of other genres, etc.)

Challenge: Describe why you like the book in 5-8 words!

What counts as a superhero book?
Any book that has characters that have superpowers like telekinesis (moving things with your mind), super-hearing, super-sight, etc, etc.

This does not count magic! Magic would be part of fantasy.

This is one of my favourite genres so excuse me whilst I recommend sparingly. You can find all of these books on my superhumans shelf!

Omg I’m so happy you’ve read it! I loooove this series it definitely needs more attention! And I agree. WE NEED BOOK 4!! Book 3 ended with a few questions that I would love to be answered. But the author said that book 4 will probably never happen because the publisher decided not to publish it. The author said she’d planned for a book 4 and 5. Maybe some time in the future some other publisher will publish it. I hope so but it’s not likely :((((
