Noah is a seventh-grade bird-watcher whose search for an elusive wood duck sighting precipitates a domino effect of science-fictive discovery starting with a mysterious, powerful disc. Noah's clever, humorous, and engaging voice helps make spectacular events credible without undermining their emotional and moral weight. Interstellar and, especially, environmental concerns take the forefront in this middle-school mystery adventure.

Illustrated by
Greg Paprocki.
In this tongue-in-cheek, trivia-packed how-to for the budding superhero, King covers everything from a ranking of the top superpowers to origin stories to silly superpranks. Silly, chatty prose and comics-style line drawings underscore the humor and help break up the rather exhaustive information aimed at superhero-obsessed readers. Timeline. Bib.
