Solving Crimes is NOT My Superpower

Everyone in Sara’s town has a superpower, except for her. Some people can make cows fall over. Some can levitate squirrels. Her parents are superstrong and can control the wind. But Sara doesn’t yet have a power (could it be crackinghilarious jokes?). So when the school’s football trophy is stolen, Sara has tocatch the thief using only her powers of deduction. She and her two friends Javier and Georgie investigate – and uncover some town secrets on the way. (And watch a mayor farting colours...) But will Sara ever discover her hidden superpower? 

Funny and warm, with brilliant dialogue, this is easy to read and full of wit. Young readers will laugh out loud as they race through it, keen to solve the mystery. Nathanael Lessore has written for teenagers before, and he proves here that he can also write fluently for younger children as well. This is the firstin a hilarious new series, illustrated throughout with energetic pictures and doodles by Simran Diamond Singh.
