When Zeb uses his superpower to blend in with a zebra crossing to play tricks on unsuspecting pedestrians, he finds himself in hot water with a very hangry lion who threatens to EAT HIM! In an effort to extricate himself from the cooking pot, he promises Marge will make endless mac ’n’ cheese to feed Lion’s whole pride. Not a great time to discover that Marge has suddenly lost her superpower! How can Zeb and Barry help her regain it in time to save Zeb’s bacon?
+ Much anticipated follow-on to Book 1, The (not so) Superheroes, sold to publishers in 20 countries prior to publication!
+ Come join Swapna Haddow’s funny and lovable characters—melodramatic Zeb, peacemaker Barry and temperamental Marge—in this new, action-packed, warm-hearted adventure.
+ Hilariously illustrated by the talented Minky Stapleton, whose wacky sense of humour really brings these characters to goofy life!
About the Author
Swapna Haddow grew up in the UK and wrote her first book at age eight. She wishes she’d kept it, but it seemed like a good idea at the time to trade it for two stickers and a couple of marbles! Her first published book was the award-winning junior novel Dave Pigeon. She has also written the early reader Ballet Bunnies series as Swapna Reddy.
Swapna now lives in Dunedin, NZ, with her husband, son and their dog. Her first book with Scholastic NZ was But Then . . . the almost true story of an overdue book.
