Revolving around a child superhero who really wishes they could just be normal, Pizazz showcases both the wicked wit and engaging visual style of the creator of Bad Nana and Pom Pom perfectly.
The first in a super (like, actually, with powers and stuff) NEW series for 7+ readers from the amazingly talented illustrator and author Sophy Henn! Brimming with Sophy's hilarious signature illustrations, this is the perfect read for fans of Dork Diaries, Tom Gates, Amelia Fang, Wimpy Kid and Dog Man.
“A SPECTACULAR superhero story that fizzes with fun on every page!” – Liz Pichon, author of the bestselling TOM GATES series.
Being a superhero is the best thing ever, right? WRONG!
HELLO! My name is Pizazz and I’m a superhero…
You probably think that's really AWESOME and while it can be, it's also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying.
Don’t believe me? Well, I have to wear the same outfit ALL THE TIME?! I'm always dashing off to save the world right in the middle of fun stuff. Plus I have to be the good guy even when I might not want to be. And sometimes I just want to be, well, normal.
You see, it’s not easy being SUPER …
PS. DON’T even ask me about my super “POWER”…

The book was amazing! The mix of comic and novel is a very good choice and the drawings are perfect to give you that anime feel. Can't wait for the next book, and I know it will be a good book.
Pizazz is really good. With the mix of comics, a fun adventure... and saving a park!
