Boy Zero Wannabe Hero: The petrifying plot of he plummeting pants by Peter Millett

Charlie Applejack wants nothing more than to be the world’s greatest superhero. There is just one problem, as superheroes go he isn’t very good. In fact he has been rejected from Super School because they seem not to value what Charlie regards as his super powers but instead grade him on things he is not good at like flying and strength.

Just when it seems his dreams are dashed, he gets a chance to prove himself.

The galaxy’s most sensational new evil villain, General Pandemonium takes all of the world’s superheroes hostage and threatens to vaporise every pair of pants on the planet. With no superheroes, it becomes Charlie’s task to stop the villain? Will he prove he is a hero or with his makeshift superhero costume, will he prove that he is a zero.

This is a humorous and entertaining yarn from a talented New Zealand writer. Readers will no-doubt be looking for the second instalment ‘The attack of the brain-dead breakdancing zombies’.
