About the Book: Step into a world where being a superhero doesn't always mean being super. Across ten hilarious tales, ordinary people and animals discover extraordinary — if slightly ridiculous — powers. Meet WONDERQUEEN, the monarch who develops astonishing abilities overnight, and THUNDERHOUND, a creature so peculiar that nobody can quite work out what it actually is. When strict schoolteachers are transformed into deadly dinosaurs, only the unlikely DINO-KID can save the day. Each story is packed with secret lairs, elaborate disguises and outrageous plot twists that keep young readers guessing right to the final page. David Walliams' signature blend of slapstick comedy, sharp observational humour and warm-hearted storytelling shines throughout, while Adam Stower's lively colour illustrations bring every larger-than-life character to comic life. The short-story format makes this an excellent choice for reluctant or newly independent readers, offering satisfying, self-contained adventures that don't demand a long attention span, while still being substantial enough — at 336 pages — to keep dedicated fans entertained for hours. Themes of courage, friendship, and embracing your own quirks run through every tale, gi
