Pizazz Vs the New Kid

The super (like, actually, with powers and stuff) series from the amazingly talented Sophy Henn, award-winning author and illustrator of Bad Nana ! The perfect read for children aged 7, 8, 9 and upwards, and for fans of Dork Diaries , Tom Gates, Amelia Fang, Wimpy Kid and Dog Man. “A SPECTACULAR superhero story that fizzes with fun on every page!” – Liz Pichon , bestselling author of the TOM GATES series.

And now, because of Serena and her gang of Populars, I have to compete against Jett in an almighty and ultimate SUPER-OFF. But it’s fine. I mean, even if I lose, there’s space for two SUPERS in this school, isn’t there?! Hilariously narrated by reluctant superhero Pizazz, and brimming with Sophy’s distinctive illustrations and comic-book strips.
