Synopsis

Do your kids love to dream about becoming superheroes? What if they really had superpowers? This actually happens to a boy named Kyle Alexander in this book that received a Purple Dragonfly Award for excellence in middle grade faction. Kyle discovers a magic ring inside a special box of cereal--and it won't come off his finger. Though the ring gives him super powers, he's afraid of heights, and flights, and fights. Urged on by his best friend, Carlos, Kyle enters the very adult world of superheroes and dastardly villains.

If you’re searching for books that ignite imagination and keep kids hooked, this series is a perfect pick. It’s superheroes reinvented for a new age. Both students and teachers can’t stop talking about it. One teacher shared, “My fifth graders didn’t want to stop reading—not even to go to gym class—that’s unheard of!” A young reader wrote, “It’s the best superhero story I’ve ever read.” The series has thrilled kids from ages 8 to 98. A great addition to any library of superhero stories.


This superhero tale is about more than just superpowers—it’s a story that deftly blends humor with action and grit and heart. Kyle quickly discovers that being a superhero is far from easy. He gets lost, bungles his first crime-fighting missions, and is even mocked by criminals who nickname him “Cockroach.” He learns to overcome his fears, at least for a few minutes, and begins to grow into his new role.

The third book in the series also was named “Editors Choice” by both The Children’s Book Review and Publishers Weekly / Booklife.
