Wonderboy by Nicole Burstein


A funny and frank superhero story set in the world of Othergirl. Joseph ‘Wilco’ Wilkes is one of life’s loser’s – he’s picked on, pushed around, and bullied by the rugby boys at the posh private school he attends on a scholarship. But his life is about to change: Wilco learns he can move things with his mind. Will this be his chance to play the hero, get the girl and finally stand up for himself? Or are things just going to come crashing down around his head? Becoming a proper hero will be quite the leap of faith.

I really enjoy Nicole's books and I enjoyed this addition to her Othergirl world. It was really interested to get this story from a male point of view. It was great to have cameos from characters from characters from Othergirl. It was fun and I really enjoyed the characters. You really feel for Joe as you see the hard time he is having at school and at home and it's nice to see him discovering his powers and use those to become stronger within himself.
