About this listen

The third thrilling adventure book from best-selling, award-winning authors Greg James and Chris Smith.

You don't need superpowers to be a hero...or do you?

Despite having no powers, Murph Cooper is part of the best team in the Heroes' Alliance. So when supervillain Magpie declares all-out war, Kid Normal and the Super Zeroes lead the charge.

But Magpie believes that a powerless hero is no hero at all. And he's building a dastardly device to prove it.

When Kid Normal enters the shadow machine, the world will never be the same....

But when I look at the reviews they all credit Greg James and Chris smith. 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹. Someone called Erica Salcedo did lots of drawing to make the Pictures. So well done to her as well.
