Picture yourself enrolled at a school for superheroes. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? Now imagine your superpower is the ability to shoot custard from your fingertips ... suddenly the appeal fades. This is the predicament Ned faces. His friends' powers aren't any more impressive either. Together they are the school's misfits: overlooked and never picked for missions. Until the day comes when everything depends on their unusual powers ...

This book is from Readerful's Independent Library. It is for children aged 9 to 10 to read without support.

Readerful is a reading library specially designed to motivate children to read more. The series offers contemporary, inclusive books for children from 4 to 11 years, including:

Books for Sharing: picture books to be read aloud by an adult for inspiring reading sessions

Independent Library: fiction, graphic texts, character mini-series and non-fiction for children to read independently

Rise: fully decodable books for older struggling readers to read independently.

How Readerful works:
- Read aloud the Books for Sharing for magical reading sessions that motivate children to read more.
- Then encourage children to choose a book to read by themselves, from Readerful's Independent Library or from Rise. You'll find links between the books' topics, vocabulary, characters and authors - all designed to keep children reading, boost their vocabulary and develop their knowledge of the world around them.
