In this laugh-out-loud new series for early readers, all the animal characters are granted superpowers—but not all powers are created equal. After a long wait in line to be granted a superpower, Zeb the zebra, Marge the penguin, and Barry the lemur get stuck with the most useless ones possible: now Zeb can blend into crosswalks, Marge can make macaroni and cheese out of anything, and Barry gains perfect penmanship. As the trio spend their days working at a local café while others flex their more impressive powers, Zeb feels sure they'll never get their superhero moment—and so he concocts a plan. With quick thinking and teamwork, these “not-so-super” heroes prove that even the unlikeliest of powers can make a big difference. Filled with hilarious illustrations on every page, this heartwarming story encourages kids to value themselves just as they are. The three heroes shine in their friendship and encouragement of each other, showing how everyone with struggles can find a silver lining. Perfect for early readers who enjoy quirky humor, animal characters, and rooting for the underdog, this is a super start to a promising new series.
