Description
Poor Suzie - Dad has set the kitchen on fire again and Mum has turned the rain on indoors to douse the flames. JP has flown straight into a wall, and the dog, Pucker, is a whirlwind of paws and ears and noisy howls. Meet the Powers: the not so super superheroes. The Powers are an Irish superhero family who have some incredible powers, but are also decidedly lacking in any ability to control them. A perfectly-paced adventure story featuring a colourful and genuinely funny family for elementary readers or children age 8+, The Powers will entertain and charm young readers.

Persons
Kevin Stevens has written grown-up books about bank robbers and jazz musicians but he also likes to write books for kids and teens. He helped the superheroes at Little Island create the Nightmare Club books for younger children and then went on to write his own books for children: The Powers and its companion book Pucker Power. Pucker is his favourite character, even though he weed on Kevin's leg once, thinking it was a lamp-post. His first book for teenagers was This Ain't No Video Game, Kid!, followed by the award-winning A Lonely Note. Both published by Little Island, of course.
