In this partially illustrated early chapter book, Bailey is nervous about their first day at the Hero Academy, an elementary school for young superheroes.

Description

Nine-year-old Bailey Kaufman is nervous for their first day of school at the Hero Academy, the elementary school for young superheroes.

Surrounded by classmates with incredible powers, like flying and super snot, Bailey isn't sure where they fit in. However, a new machine designed to help students discover and learn to control their powers might have the answers Bailey is looking for. It was created by Mr. Kaufman, the new principal and Bailey's dad. But when another student thinks they recognize Mr. Kaufman from an old comic book, Bailey is shocked. It couldn't be their dad...could it? Either way, fitting in is going to be harder than Bailey thought.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

Critic Reviews

"Super Switch is about inclusivity and how each person has their own unique traits. The characters in the story are forgiving and willing to give second chances. Children will enjoy the humorous anecdotes. Recommended."
