Slugboy Saves the World Summary

Slugboy Saves the World by Mark A. Smith

Thanks to an unfortunately tasty-looking radioactive garden slug, eleven-year-old Murdo McLeod is now the world's worst superhero. His two powers are pretty unique: the first is sliding up walls. Quite slowly. The second is secreting slippery slime from his skin. (Yes, just as disgusting as it sounds.) In a Scotland full of awesome superheroes, Slugboy has a lot to prove. No one wants help fighting bad guys from someone with a horrible habit of (quite literally) messing things up. He's so underrated, in fact, that when an evil mastermind devises a plan to capture all the other superheroes, Slugboy isn't even on his list. Now, Slugboy has to use his not-so-super and oh-so-gross abilities to free the other superheroes and save the world. Let's hope he doesn't slip up.

Slugboy Saves the World Reviews

'Annotated with occasional cartoon words, ominious interludes, and bottom trumps bio pages with awesome or evil ratiings, this is bound to amuse and draw in fans of comic book characters. By the end you'll be rooting for Slugboy.' -- School Librarian Association 'This was a funny book which was immediately appealing because of its cover. I liked the Scottish element; you don't find many stories set in Scotland, so that was pretty cool! The book was easy to read and I think other teenagers would enjoy it too.' -- Teen Titles
