Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Sep 2006 | Series: Books For Boys
Raymond is Alan's new step-dad. He doesn't know much about Alan, like what football team he supports. In fact, he doesn't know much at all. So he's in for a real surprise, because Alan has super-powers. But dare he share his secret?

From football to go karting, and real heroes and aliens, Books for Boys are packed with high action, adventure and humour, ideal for turning reluctant boy readers into lifelong bookworms. Ideal for fans of HARRY AND THE DINOSAURS who are ready to move on to chapter books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for boys 22 Feb 2010
By M. Fisher
Format:Paperback
My son is not keen on reading, but he does like action, so I got him this book. He did read it, but would have liked more pictures, I think to break up the words.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and engaging read 21 April 2012
By rp
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used this with a group of students that are currently working on a superhero theme. Students have taken a interest in the book and been able to come up with some imaginative ideas of their own.The use of pictures and text makes it even more practical for a classroom environment. Might be a nice one for parents to use with children.
