Description

"With fast-paced action and absurd humor [...] Super Dweeb in an exciting new series for fans of Captain Underpants or Diary of a Wimpy Kid" - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

"A funny, fast-paced and zany adventure bursting with colourful cartoon-style illustrations" - BOOK TRUST

Andy wishes that he had *awesome powers*, like the heroes of his home-made comic stories. But instead, he's stuck in the real world, where he has an annoying little brother, a super-weird teacher ... and everyone says he's a total dweeb.

Then one day, he discovers an oversized, glowing pencil on a school trip to the local toxic waste dump. He starts sketching and finds that he can redraw reality.

Now, thanks to the power of doodling, Andy can bring to life anything that he can imagine, erase his problems, and doodle his way of sticky situations. He's not just a dweeb ... he's a SUPER DWEEB! Even Mona, the ice-cool new girl at school, seems impressed.

But there's a twist in the tale.. because everything goes very wrong when little brother Oscar does some doodling of his own. Now there's a scribble monster on the loose! Run for it, Andy!

This is the first book in the hilarious new Super Dweeb series by award-winning author and illustrator Jess Bradley. Featuring comic-strip-style storytelling in full-color, this chapter book is perfect for readers aged 7-9.

Critical Reviews

With fast-paced action and absurd humor [...] Super Dweeb in an exciting new series for fans of Captain Underpants or Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

This is a great story with relatable characters... It's similar to the Planet Omar series, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid as well as Tom Gates but with added bonus of adventure. *****--Toppsta.com Reviewer

The first in a series, this funny, fast-paced and zany adventure is bursting with colourful cartoon-style illustrations. The short chapters and comic strip format make it ideal for reluctant and young independent readers.--Toppsta.com Reviewer

"There's more fun and excitement in a Jess Bradley page than in a barrel-load of monkeys armed with party poppers. Super Dweeb and Mona bring the awesome"--M.R. Carey
