The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy, Book 1: The Hero Revealed

Ordinary boy is, well, gosh, he's ORDINARY. At least he has no superpowers. Of course in Superopolis everybody except Ordinary Boy (O Boy, to his friends) has some special power, but a lot of them are truly lame. One kid can grow hair on people by touching them, another is superstrong but smells really, really, really bad, a third glows after drinking apple juice. O Boy has only regular human brainpower, but he uses it better than most of his super-buddies, and often seems like the only one with sense. I got a big kick out of this book. My thirteen-year-old son wouldn't put it down to eat dinner. I'd say we have a winner here!

This is a good story, entertaining and fun to read with the kids. What stands out about it is the wacky, funny names for things and people. It's just plain fun! The first-person approach is a plus also, as you feel the "ordinary boy" tell you his story. Overall, a fun read for parent and child.

This was a very cute book. We especially loved the "statistics" pages. This went hand in hand with our love for "The Incredibles!"

Great characters, loved Ordinary Boy and got involved in the storyline. Interesting and amusing book that held my interest from start to finish.
