Many children think their step-parents are super-villains
. . . but what if they really were?
10-year-old Billy's mum has just re-married, and his new step-dad
Phil is smarmy and try-hard . . . Even if he is super rich.
On top of that, Billy – and his best-friend Viv –
are so unpopular at school, only the IT Club rank below them
in the school food-chain. And, the school bully keeps throwing bins
at Billy's head.
So, when Billy discovers his step-dad is a super-villain
with an evil plan to destroy the entire world, it is the perfect
excuse to break Phil and his mum up. But gathering evidence about
a super-villain is harder than it looks, and when Billy accidentally
becomes 'Bin Boy' –
a superhero sensation – things become a whole lot more
complicated.
Suddenly the fate of the global population is on Bin Boy’s
shoulders. Can he save his family and the entire world?!
A story of friendship, pizza, fizzy drinks, a super-hacker,
a volcano secret-lair, excellent technological wonderment,
a platinum-toothed crocodile . . .  And a superhero sensation!
A brand-new superhero is in town and perfect for readers aged
9+.
Told with heart and tonnes of homour, great for fans of David
Solomons, Kid Normal and Despicable Me.
