From the author of Finn’s Epic Fails, this is the second book in multi-award-shortlisted author Phil Earle’s Storey Street series, illustrated by award-winning artist, Sara Ogilvie. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Liz Pichon, each book in this laugh-out-loud series focuses on a different neighbour.
‘A laugh-out-loud read full of capes and japes! If you like Superheroes this is right down your Street!’ – DANNY WALLACE
Mouse is desperate to be a superhero. To find that power that will make him stand out in the crowd. But his every attempt ends in failure. He can’t even get any attention at home as his five brothers (triplets AND twins) take every second of mum and dad’s attention.
When mum foils a bank robbery while on duty as a lollipop lady, she and Mouse are lauded as superheroes. Joining forces with Mouse are The Z List – a group of unlikely crime-fighters. But in their midst is a traitor hell-bent on revenge.
Will Mouse be super enough to spot this danger, and is he brave enough to do anything about it?

Reviews
Deliciously silly fun for seven-plus
A hilarious story that will have children giggling throughout
Demolition Dad was one of my favourite books of last year, and now Earle turns his attention to yet another troubled family in Story Street ... Warm-hearted fun
Sara Ogilvie's beautifully drawn illustrations add real life and humour.
I think other people my age would enjoy this book and find it funny. It made me laugh and I found it easy to read once I got into it.
Told with earthy humour and a bracing dash of silliness, Superhero Street plays an entertaining riff on the theme of finding the hero inside
Mister Earle tells a terrific tale of an accidental superhero
A laugh-out-loud read full of capes and japes! If you like Superheroes this is right down your Street!
Superhero Street' is an absolute joy to read Phil manages to create a story which is brilliantly humorous but full of heart and emotion...I really can't recommend it enough. I felt like it offers the reader the hope that even by doing the smallest, seemly insignificant acts we can all be a Superhero in someone eyes
Phil "BOOKCRUSHER" Earle has written one, funny, fabulous, pile driving BLAST of a book. (Read it in Lycra for full wrestling experience.)
Warm-hearted fun
Fantastically funny, this story has a very big heart
I think other people my age would enjoy this book and find it funny. It made me laugh and I found it easy to read once I got into it
It's a delight: a brilliant cast of characters (including a truly formidable mum), jokes aplenty, poignant family drama and a very big heart indeed.
