Murph Cooper (aka Kid Normal) and the rest of the Super Zeroes have been busy saving the day, preventing robberies and other crimes. However even now after officially being made part of the Heroes Alliance, Mr Flash and their fellow students still scoff at them.

The Super Zeroes may all have weird capes (capabilities) and Murph no powers at all, but they soon put them to the test in an exercise set by Mr Flash in class. Outperforming his favourite students, Mr Flash suddenly seems to have more respect for them, not that he’d ever admit it.

Meanwhile a message is delivered. Somebody incredibly important and extremely dangerous wants to meet with Kid Normal. He is intrigued but worried when taken to a high security prison. This is where the heroes who go bad are locked up. They are called Rogue Heroes.

The most villainous of them all has a cell deep underground, with multiple cameras watching his every move and lots of other technology to keep him exactly where he should be, to keep the world safe. His name is Magpie.

Kid Normal wonders why this Rogue Hero wants to speak to him especially? What did he do to be imprisoned in an impenetrable cell for the last 30 years? Little does Kid Normal know that he himself is part of Magpie’s latest evil plan.

Kid Normal returns to school and learns more of Magpie’s crimes, something so terrible that retired heroes never speak of it.

Soon Magpie reveals something no one thought possible. Both young heroes and old must pull together to save a daughter, defeat a monster and try and put wrongs right. Magpie seems invincible, but then he has never met Kid Normal who knows that heroes can exist without special powers.

Another hilarious book in this trilogy. Narrated direct to the reader it has action aplenty, tons of silly similie and lots of laughing out loud. The Super Zeroes must face a Super Hero who has gone Rogue and committed the most evil crimes.

Even after dealing with Nektar in their first adventure, the villain they are now up against is a huge step up in evil. Can they clear their names of false charges, save a friend’s loved one, protect the retired heroes and escape a giant ticking bomb? I particularly liked the hugely imaginative similie whether it be a sound, a smell or incredible actions of these pint-sized super heroes.

Looking forward to the last book in the series – Kid Normal and the Shadow Machine.
