    About this ebook

    Welcome back to Mighty High – the school for superheroes.

    When Dr Sinister hatches his latest plan to take over the world, and creates evil custard that turns children into deadly blob monsters, what better place to try it out than an unsuspecting school? Little does Dr Sinister realise that Mighty High is a school for superheroes – they are all acting ordinary to pass the school inspection!

    Can Stan, Minnie, Miles and, of course, Pudding the Wonder Dog come up with an anti-custard-dote in time?

    With fully integrated black and white illustrations throughout, this laugh-out-loud series is perfect for young readers.

      Also by Alan MacDonald

      It was the first day of a new term. Stan, Miles, Minnie and Pudding the Wonderdog entered through the tall iron gates of Mighty High. During the long summer holidays little exciting or dangerous had happened, so it was good to be back together as the Invincibles, probably the greatest superhero gang in Stan’s class.

      Stan looked around the playground, recognising the old familiar faces. Over the far side a group of boys were playing aerial football, occasionally sending the ball high into the clouds. Tank, the school bully, had found some new kids to play with and was amusing himself by throwing them over a wall.

      All in all, it seemed like just another day at Mighty High … but that was about to change.

      Miss Marbles, the head teacher, walked by wearing a worried expression and two pairs of spectacles on her head.

      ‘Morning, miss,’ said Minnie brightly.

      Miss Marbles looked round, quickly stuffing a letter into her pocket.

      ‘Morning? I suppose it is,’ she said. ‘How are you, Molly?’

      ‘Minnie,’ said Minnie. ‘Is everything OK?’

      ‘Yes, of course,’ said Miss Marbles. ‘Absolutely splendid, tip-top, couldn’t be better. Well, I must be – you know, things to do.’

      They watched her cross the playground and disappear through a door, coming out a second later when she realised it was the caretaker’s shed.

      Minnie frowned. ‘You think she’s all right?’ she asked.

      ‘Mad as a sack of cats,’ said Miles.

      ‘But she seemed a bit funny,’ said Minnie. ‘She’s never called me Molly before.’

      ‘She calls me Stanley,’ grumbled Stan.

      ‘Well, that’s your name,’ said Miles.

      ‘Yes, but how many superheroes do you know called Stanley?’ asked Stan.

      ‘You can be the first.’ Miles grinned. ‘Super Stanley.’

      ‘I’ll stick to Dangerboy, thanks,’ said Stan, who owed his nickname to his supersensitive ears, which alerted him to danger.

      Minnie was still thinking about Miss Marbles. ‘Something’s wrong,’ she said. ‘Maybe we ought to go and check on her.’

      ‘Check on
