Kid Normal and the Final Five: Kid Normal 4

«..you can come at it fresh, having had no previous encounters with ‘’capability-free’’ Murph and his super-powered pals. The gang are back in motion thanks to slimy supervillain Knox, who wants to take over the world. There is mild peril, silliness, wordplay, and much fun-poking»

«There is mild peril, silliness, word play, and much fun poking (mainly at politician-style characters), but it's all bound together with strong messages on friendship, teamwork, and the inner strengths we all have, it's just a matter of identifying them.»

«PRAISE FOR KID NORMAL: So funny, it's almost criminal»

«Outrageous capers for eight and up … Amusingly surreal super-powers and a trust yourself message combine to strong effect with Erica Salcedo’s entertaining, huge-eyed images»

«An extraordinary tale about an ordinary boy in a world of heroes … A fast-paced, humorous adventure with likeable heroes and a suitably ridiculous, evil villain»

«Packed with very amusing asides, it’s a fun and fast-paced read that will make James and Smith into children’s heroes»

«Chock full of slapstick humour, outrageous characters and pop culture references. It mocks school pecking orders and will make all kids who have fallen foul of them feel much better about it. And somehow, it ties all the mania together in a credible and thrilling story»

«A superlative adventure story that will resonate with children who like to read whacky, wild things»

«This spoof superhero epic certainly delivers: deliciously dastardly villains, capes, tights and mild-mannered heroes. Yet it also explores familiar school anxieties that everyone else is smarter, stronger, better»

«A very promising start to a laugh-out-loud funny adventure series»

«Incredibly funny, witty and stuffed full of heart»
