secret, and super weird. His classmates can all fly or control the
weather or conjure tiny horses from thin air. And what's Murph's
extraordinary skill? Um, oh yeah - he hasn't got one. Just as well
there are no revolting supervillains lurking nearby, their minds
abuzz with evil plans. There are!? Right. Ok, then... It's time for
Kid Normal to become a hero!
Unlike most 12 year-olds, Maya Clayton is desperate to go to bed
early. Falling asleep is the only chance she has to save her dad -

invented a device that allows you to visit other people's dreams.
But the devious Lilith Delamere has trapped him inside a nightmare
and Maya and the mysterious Dream Bandits must find a way to rescue
him before it's too late! Maya will face a dangerous journey and
some difficult choices. But sometimes all you need is a dream . . .
and a bit of courage. Featuring a hospital heist, some
banana-loving llamas and a talking cat called Bin Bag, this is one
mind-bending adventure you won't want to wake up from.

YOU DON'T NEED SUPERPOWERS TO BE A HERO ... Or do you?
Despite having no powers, Murph Cooper is part of the best team in the Heroes' Alliance. So when supervillain Magpie declares all-out war, Kid Normal and the Super Zeroes lead the charge.
But Magpie believes that a powerless hero is no hero at all. And he's building a dastardly device to prove it.
When Kid Normal enters the Shadow Machine, THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ...
The second epically funny adventure starring Murph Cooper and the Super Zeroes from Greg James and Chris Smith.
Running a team of crime-fighting superheroes is a complicated business - especially when your mum's not allowed to know that you're doing it. But Murph Cooper is making it work: he's a schoolkid by day and a member of the top-secret Heroes' Alliance by night.
Not that anyone at The School seems to care. Most of Murph's teachers and classmates still believe that unless you have a proper superpower you can't be a real hero.
But his achievements have caught the attention of at least one person .
Far away in a maximum security prison, the world's most notorious supervillain, Magpie, has just broken a 30-year silence.
Magpie's special power? Draining heroes of their Capabilities and taking them for his own. And his first words? 'Bring Kid Normal to me .'

Renowned marathon expert and leading sports scientist Professor
John Brewer reveals why many of the concepts surrounding marathon
training and running are wrong -- and suggests how the latest
sports science research transforms the way marathons should be
approached. Run Smart uses the latest scientific research to show
how preparing for, and running, marathons can be made easier, and
in doing so challenges many of the myths that surround marathon
running. The book will draw on the author's experience as one of
the UK's leading sports scientists, his extensive research
background in marathon running, and his experience as a marathon
runner, to provide credible advice to runners to support their
preparation for a marathon. The book will challenge many current
concepts, myths and ideas, and provide science-based alternatives
in areas such as training and nutrition that will optimise and ease
a runner's preparation for, and completion of, the 26.2 mile
distance. This highly accessible book will use the latest
scientific findings to support new runners training for their first
marathon and help more experienced athletes improve and train
smarter.
When Murph Cooper rocks up to his new school, he can't help but
feel a bit out of his depth. And it's not because he's worried
about where to sit, and making friends, and fitting in, or not
knowing where the loos are. It's because his mum has enrolled him
at a school for superheroes by mistake. And unlike his fellow
students Murph has no special abilities whatsoever. But just
because you don't have superpowers, it doesn't mean you can't save
the day...
