About this audiobook
You don't need superpowers to be a hero! A brand-new edition of radio stars Greg James and Chris Smith's laugh-out-loud bestseller about the only ‘normal’ kid at the secret school for superheroes. Now with shorter, snappier text and packed full of illustrations.
Murph Cooper has a problem.
His new school is top secret, and super weird. His classmates can all fly or control the weather or conjure tiny horses from thin air. And what's Murph's extraordinary skill? Um, oh yeah – he hasn't got one.
Just as well there are no revolting supervillains lurking nearby, their minds abuzz with evil plans. There are!? Right. OK, then...
It's time for Kid Normal to become a hero!
‘So funny it’s almost criminal’ Independent
