This middle grade novel should be a hit in my library. Different and just gross enough, students will enjoy this for sure. I have read several books by this author and always anxious to see what he will come out with next!

Jarrod is ill and nor does he or anyone else understand what the problem is.


He has his "moments" and everytime experiences things that seem unreasonable.


He's also the 'Bug-Boy' for he's very fond of bugs. All kinds of bugs. He has them in his room and can't resist noticing them in the school or anywhere he goes.


His moments continue occurring often affecting his health, his grades and his social life.


Until one day when he realises that what he sees or hears is real. And someone somewhere needs his desperate help.


And a super hero is born. And like every super hero, no one believes him or his powers but he tries his best to help.
He tells his best friend and even proves it.


Well he really does swallows flies. Because that is what his Super Power is about.


A very enjoyable read for kids, especially boys who love reading about super powers. For Jarrod has a very very unique power that no can even think of.

Thank you Netgalley for the copy.
