What would happen if you woke up every single day with a different, surprise SUPERPOWER?! Find out in this zany, hilarious illustrated novel from Mary Winn Heider and Chad Sell.

The morning of his mom’s business trip, Switcheroo wakes up to discover he has telekinesis. Which is super convenient when he has to give his babysitter-robot the slip to fight crime all day. But it’s less convenient when he’s recruited to fight crime again the next day, only to realize he can no longer move objects with his mind. Instead, he can talk to cats! Fun, but not nearly as useful. A new superpower every day should be exciting, right? What could possibly go wrong?

"A wannabe superhero faces multiple mysteries and tests in this engaging series opener." —Kirkus Reviews

"While the innovative gadgets and superpowers that populate this madcap series starter....are surprising and amusing, the story’s true heart comes from Switcheroo’s struggles navigating family and friendship dynamics, and learning to trust himself." —Publishers Weekly

Chad Sell

Chad Sell grew up in a small town in central Wisconsin. He lived in a neighborhood much like the Cardboard Kingdom, where he and his friends bounded through backyards in imaginative games and outfits. He also drew a lot and came up with all kinds of colorful characters. His favorites were often the villains, because despite being different and misunderstood, they were powerful and confident, and they got the best costumes. Chad lives in Connecticut with his husband and two cats.
