A fascinating exploration of the science, history, literature, and culture behind comic book superheroes’ powers and origins. How does Superman’s strength allow him to squeeze a chunk of coal into a diamond? What’s the connection between Wonder Woman’s golden Lasso of Truth and a lie detector? Why does the Black Panther speak so many different languages? What does Natasha Romanova, a.k.a. Black Widow, teach us about the Cold War? All this and more is explored in Superhero Smart: Real-World Facts Behind Comic Book Characters, written by award-winning author Paul Volponi. In a fast-paced, free-flowing narrative, Volponi reveals that there is so much more to spandex-clad superheroes than meets the eye. To truly understand their origins and powers, one must also understand science, history, literature, and the incredible diversity of people and cultures around us. The exploits and powers of almost every comic book superhero or villain have a basis in reality, opening the door to learning about so many things from the past and present. And in learning more about these heroes and our world, we can help prepare for and create a better future, just as superheroes strive to do every day in the pages of our comic books.

The final chapter of the book allows students to test their understanding and apply the skills they have learned across Stage 9, by responding to reading and writing questions on two longer texts. Supports progression – clear models and examples are included throughout to show students how to improve, while self-assessment tasks at the end of each chapter help students to reflect on their progress. Rich, varied and engaging text extracts – fresh international fiction, poetry, drama and non-fiction texts represent the different forms and purposes required at each stage of the curriculum. Extracts of increasing length and challenge have been chosen to build students’ reading stamina across the stage.
