| Summary, Abstract, Review |
Alan is dealing with changes—his mum has a new partner, Raymond, and the two are trying to get to know each other. Raymond doesn’t seem to understand Alan’s likes, such as his favorite football team or his everyday life. But Alan has a secret that could change everything: he has superpowers! When Alan discovers the extent of his abilities, he faces a dilemma—should he share his secret with Raymond, or keep it hidden? The story takes readers through action-packed episodes involving football, go-karting, "real heroes," and even alien threats. Full of humor and excitement, the book explores Alan’s inner conflict, his growing connection to Raymond, and the thrill of having extraordinary powers. |
