"A SPECTACULAR superhero story that fizzes with fun on every page!" - Liz Pichon, author of the bestselling TOM GATES series.
Being a superhero is the best thing ever, right? WRONG!
HELLO! My name is Pizazz and I'm a superhero…
You probably think that's really AWESOME and while it can be, it's also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying.
Don't believe me? Well, I have to wear the same outfit ALL THE TIME?! I'm always dashing off to save the world right in the middle of fun stuff. Plus I have to be the good guy even when I might not want to be. And sometimes I just want to be, well, normal.
You see, it's not easy being SUPER …
PS. DON'T even ask me about my super "POWER"…
