    About this ebook

    From the bestselling author of Dirty Bertie.

    Stan Button had always dreamed of becoming a superhero. Then one day a letter arrives inviting him for an interview at the mysterious Mighty High School. To his amazement, Stan is offered a place – starting immediately. His superpower is 'non-conventional', as are those of his two new best friends, but lessons in supervillain-spotting and tight-wearing mean they are soon ready to defeat the evil Green Meanie… who might just be none other than Professor Von Hardbum, a teacher at their school.

    Each adventure will be heavily illustrated throughout with fantastic art by Nigel Baines, for truly brilliant comic-book style fun.

      Superhero School - Alan MacDonald

      Mrs Button poked her head round the door. ‘How many times? No jumping on the bed!’

      ‘But Dangerboy has to save mankind from Dr Doom!’ said Stan.

      ‘Well, tell Dangerboy his dinner’s getting cold.’

      Stan sighed. By now Dr Doom would be halfway to his secret volcano lair. Stan peeled off his superhero mask and hung it on the bedpost. He’d have to finish saving the world after dinner.

      Halfway downstairs he stopped and scratched his left ear. It was tingling, which probably meant sprouts for supper.

      ‘Come on, lad, we’re hungry,’ said Mr Button, looking up.

      ‘I had to practise my surprise attack move,’ said Stan. ‘Dr Doom was getting away . . .’

      ‘Well, if he’s a doctor, he’s probably very busy,’ said Mrs Button.

      Stan sat down and looked at his plate. His tingling ear never failed.

      Mr Button speared a chip on his fork. ‘Have you given any thought to what you might like to be if you don’t become an – um – superhero?’

      ‘I’ll be a superhero,’ said Stan without hesitation.

      ‘Yes, but it’s good to have other options,’ said Mrs Button.

      ‘And it’s good to have ambition,’ Mr Button sighed. ‘But not everyone can be a superhero. Do you actually know any superheroes?’

      ‘What about Captain Courageous?’ said Stan.

      Every week the Gormley Gazette reported on Captain Courageous’s latest daring adventures. Stan had pictures and posters of him all over his walls. Beside his bed was a plastic model of the superhero that he’d got free in a packet of cornflakes.

      ‘Exactly,’ said Mr Button.

      ‘What do you mean?’ asked Stan.

      ‘Well, he can fly and he’s got superpowers. It’s difficult to learn things like that.’

      ‘Maybe he started off by jumping on the bed too,’ said Stan. ‘Then one day he discovered he could fly. That’s why I need to practise.’

      ‘What for?’

      ‘So that I’m ready,’ said Stan, smearing a chip with ketchup. ‘You don’t know – I could get a call at any time.’

      A letter came through the door and landed on the doormat.

      Mrs Button went into the hall and returned holding a long silver envelope with no postmark or stamp, just a name and address.

      ‘Ooh, it’s for you, Stan!’ she cried.

      ‘Me?’ Stan looked up. He never got letters – except when he had an overdue library book. But this didn’t look as if it came from the library; it looked exciting.

      Stan tore the envelope open. Inside was a letter written in purple ink. It was short . . . and baffling.

      There was a stunned silence. Mrs Button looked at Stan. Mr Button set down his knife and fork. ‘I’ve never heard of a school called Mighty High.’

      ‘Well, isn’t this exciting?’ said his mum.

      ‘But what’s it for?’ asked Mr Button. ‘You go to school already. What’s this Mighty High?’

      ‘I think it’s that new place they’ve opened in that abandoned building,’ said Mrs Button. ‘It might be one of these schools that hands out thingummybobs – you know . . .’

      ‘PlayStations?’ said Stan hopefully.

      ‘No, scholarships – scholarships for clever children,’ said his mum. ‘Perhaps your teacher got in touch.’

      Stan couldn’t imagine why Mr Horrocks would recommend him. Had they sent the letter to the wrong person? But there was his name, written on the
