The Incredible Three and a Half Superheroes

by Frank Schmeisser

Overview

The top secret, totally true adventures of the child superhero team, the Incredible Three and a Half. Most superheroes hide behind masks as they battle against injustice in the world and, for their own protection, their true identities are kept top secret. But for reasons beyond his control, incorrigible sixth grader Sebastian Appleby-Krumble is forced to write down his exploits as part of the superhero team the Incredible Three and a Half. The Incredible Three and a Half Superheroes is a humorous, behind-the-scenes tale of the action-packed adventures of Sebastian, otherwise known as the Brain, and his friends Barbara "Action Barbie" Bakewell, Martin "The Chameleon" Koslowski, and Martin's imaginary friend Dickie, "The Chicken." Young readers will find out why Aunt Hilda's birthday ended in disaster; why Dolittle, the class hamster, wound up wearing camouflage; and how Sebastian was almost arrested while wearing a giraffe costume. Most importantly, they will discover why everyone must protect the secret identities of the Incredible Three and a Half to save the world from danger!

Editorial Reviews

I love a silly story! If I ever had to be a superhero, I would probably ask to be part of the crew who goes by the Incredible Three and a Half…Grab this book for your middle grade reader who likes to laugh.

"There’s a lot of running back and forth between plot and subplot, and the writing becomes hectic, but kids will likely get a kick out of the craziness . . . Not a bad purchase for home and public libraries, but school libraries will likely be turned off by the language."
—Mom Read It
"It's a great choice for reluctant readers, boys, comic or graphic novel enthusiasts, or the young comedian in your life…An incredibly fun book that sucks you in from the start and keeps you chuckling until the last page."
