About this ebook
Perfect for fans of Pixar's The Incredibles, Almost Super is a fresh, funny middle grade adventure about two brothers in a family of superheroes who must find a way to be heroic despite receiving powers that are total duds. Filled with humor, heart, and just the right kind of heroics, Almost Super is a winning story that will satisfy would-be heroes and regular kids alike.
Everyone over the age of twelve in the Bailey family gets a superpower. No one knows why, and no one questions it. All the Baileys know is that it's their duty to protect the world from the evil, supervillainous Johnson family. *shake fists*
But when Rafter Bailey and his brother Benny get their superpowers, they're, well . . . super-lame. Rafter can strike matches on polyester, and Benny can turn his innie belly button into an outie. Along with Rafter's algebra class nemesis, Juanita Johnson, Rafter and Benny realize that what they thought they knew about superheroes and supervillains may be all wrong.
And it's up to the three of them to put asides their differences and make things right. They may not have great powers, but together, they're almost super.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A smart, funny book about coming into your own and seeing yourself as a hero even when others don't; it did have a darker ending than I was expecting but that kind of impressed me. It's set up for a sequel and I would like to see more character development and some more fully fleshed adults all around.

However, they are disappointed to find out that their new powers are not so super after all. The Bailey family is always fighting to protect the world from the Johnsons, a family of supervillains.
