Almost Super

By: Marion Jensen

Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain

Perfect for fans of Pixar's The Incredibles, Almost Super is a fresh, funny middle grade adventure about two brothers in a family of superheroes who must find a way to be heroic despite receiving powers that are total duds. Filled with humor, heart, and just the right kind of heroics, Almost Super is a winning story that will satisfy would-be heroes and regular kids alike.

Everyone over the age of twelve in the Bailey family gets a superpower. No one knows why, and no one questions it. All the Baileys know is that it's their duty to protect the world from the evil, supervillainous Johnson family. *shake fists*

But when Rafter Bailey and his brother Benny get their superpowers, they're, well . . . super-lame. Rafter can strike matches on polyester, and Benny can turn his innie belly button into an outie. Along with Rafter's algebra class nemesis, Juanita Johnson, Rafter and Benny realize that what they thought they knew about superheroes and supervillains may be all wrong.

And it's up to the three of them to put asides their differences and make things right. They may not have great powers, but together, they're almost super.

Best Family Read (Listen) Ever!

Would you consider the audio edition of Almost Super to be better than the print version?

Haven't read it, Audio is awesome.

What other book might you compare Almost Super to and why?

Series of Unfortunate Events, maybe, mostly because of the wittiness and genre.

What about Mike Chamberlain’s performance did you like?

Very well done.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh, more than once.

Any additional comments?

This is a great audio book for a family car ride--entertaining to the adults as well as the kids (for real, not like when a kid movie makes you wish you were at the dentist--truly fun)
