*** Normalsein ist die neue Superkraft! *** Murph hat ein großes Problem. Er ist ganz normal! Leider hat seine Mutter ihn aus Versehen an einer Schule für Superhelden angemeldet. Oder so was in der Art. Seine Mitschüler haben die schrottigsten Superkräfte, die man sich vorstellen kann: Nellie kann das Wetter kontrollieren, Billy sämtliche Körperteile aufpusten und Hilda beschwört Pferdchen herauf … Noch während Murph glaubt, NORMALSEIN wäre sein größtes Problem, wird es wirklich schlimm: Bösewicht Nektar, halb Mensch, halb Wespe, bringt alle Kinder der Schule unter seine Kontrolle - und plötzlich ist es an Kid Normal, zum größten Helden aller Zeiten zu werden. *** „So lustig, das ist schon beinahe kriminell!" The Independent *** *** Der internationale Erfolg aus England - zum Weglachen gut! ***

Murphs Leben als Normalo-Superheld ist aufregend – und voller Fragen: Bekommt er jetzt ein Heldenkostüm? Einen Gürtel mit coolen Waffen? Oder zumindest einen Butler, der Ratschläge erteilt, wenn ihm das Heldendasein mal über den Kopf wächst? Inzwischen kennen Murph und die Supernullen die Antworten auf all diese Fragen. Sie lauten – in beliebiger Reihenfolge – nein, nein und nein. Als sich tief unter dem Gefängnis für abtrünnige Superhelden etwas Unheilvolles zusammenbraut, müssen die Supernullen ihre mehr oder weniger brauchbaren Kräfte vereinen. Denn die Elster, der größte Schurke, den die Welt je gesehen hat, verlangt nur eines: „Bringt mir Kid Normal!"

For fans of Stuart Gibbs comes a hilarious, illustrated middle-grade adventure debut about a superhero with no superpowers. When Murph Cooper begins his new school several weeks into the beginning of semester, he can't help but feel a bit out of his depth. And it's not because he's worried about where to sit, making friends, and fitting in. It's because his mom has enrolled him at a school for superheroes. And unlike his fellow students, who can control the weather or fly or conjure tiny horses from thin air, Murph has no special abilities whatsoever.
