Imagine a secret science experiment. Very secret. Very sciency. Should be perfectly safe, right? Right? Now, imagine a ghoul school in crisis. It's just like your school, only a bit more ghoulish. Well, a lot more ghoulish, but it still has students and teachers, like any proper school. It has a proper name, too: St. Squirmings' Ghoul School. And there's a crisis going on. And finally, imagine a headless monk. With a cold, so there's a lot of sniffing and snot involved. Combine the three, and think about what could possibly go wrong. Think about EVERYTHING that could go wrong. Or, better yet, dare to read Snot Monster, and find out for yourself! Enter the St. Squirmings' Ghoul School, meet some new (and ghoulish, and perhaps snotty) schoolmates, read about the horrid goings-on going on... And face the terrible Snot Monster! Jump aboard this wild, wacky, and a bit tacky tale from the keyboard of kid's stand-up comic, Ian Billings, and join a grotty adventure full of fun, frolics, and a huge amount of snot! Giggles are guaranteed while reading this story for 6 to 11 year olds! Come on in - you know you want to, and you know it's snot to be sniffed at!

The award-winning #1 international bestseller that's perfect for fans of The Last Kids on Earth and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Luke Parker was just your average comic book fan until his boring, teacher’s pet, helps-old-ladies-across-the-street brother Zack got turned into a superhero. Luke can’t believe the unfairness of it all—he’s the one with the encyclopedic knowledge of everything from Ant-Man to Wolverine! At least he can help Zack—aka Star Guy—with all the important parts of becoming a superhero, like using his newfound powers and deciding whether or not to wear a cape. But when Star Guy gets into super-size trouble, it’s up to Luke—and his intrepid neighbor, Lara—to rescue his big brother and, with a little luck, help him save the world. * “A non-stop action-packed, laugh-out-loud winner of a story.” —School Library Journal, starred review “A loving tribute to the genre consumed with capes, masks, supervillains, and great responsibility.” —Kirkus Reviews "Readers will enjoy the deadpan narration that reveals the unexpected difficulties of being a modern-day superhero.” —Publishers Weekly

“Should appeal to readers who enjoy the Captain Underpants and Wimpy Kid series.” - School Library Connection on Kid Normal Since becoming Kid Normal, Murph Cooper and the Super Zeroes – fellow students with arguably less-than-useful talents like the ability to conjure tiny horses from thin air – have been catching bad guys all over the place. But being a hero isn't easy, especially when you can't tell anyone about your epic adventures and your classmates still don't believe you've got what it takes. And then, far away in a top-secret prison, the world's most feared supervillain breaks his thirty-year silence. His first words? “Bring Kid Normal to me!” This supervillain was responsible for stealing the powers from some of the greatest Heroes Alliance members of all time. Does Murph have what it takes to bring him down? With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this laugh-out-loud story proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.
