My Brother is a Superhero
Illustrated by Derek Brazell
If you read and loved My Brother is a Visitor from Another Planet as I did, you will adore this. Snappy American writer Dyan Sheldon has managed to confuse me again. The hero worship Adam has for his older brother is both profound and total to the extent that he doesn't recognise his own talents. Adam learns slowly that he can never be his brother no matter how much he wants to be. He has to be himself and that is quite something. I loved the last sentence but don't read it first now I've said that! Talk about understated brotherly love!
