Move over Maximum Boy, there's a new superhero in town. And not only is he handsome, loyal, and brave, but his voice has changed! Super Sid is fifteen years old, complete with muscles and athletic ability. (And to be honest, umm, our eleven-year-old hero has arms like twigs.)

Is Super Sid really as spectacular as he seems?

Is it Fun to be a super hero? When Max finds out about Sid he wishes he wasn't one. Max is jealous of Sid but he can't hide it. Moth man's on the loose and can they stop him? Find out!

Ithink this book is fiction. I like when max makes Trevor fart.

I recommend this book to people who like adventure. If youwant to know more - read the book!
