About This Book
This humorous chapter book introduces Peter Powers, a boy who feels overshadowed by his super-powered family because his only ability is making ice cubes. When Captain Tornado threatens the city, Peter faces the challenge of embracing his seemingly "not-so-super" power. It's a fun, action-packed adventure that gently explores themes of self-confidence, family support, and recognizing one's unique strengths. Perfect for early to late elementary readers, it encourages children to find value in themselves, even when they feel different.
Everyone in Peter Powers' family has super awesome superpowers. His dad controls fire with his mind, and his mom can fly. His big brother makes copies of himself, and his little sister is super-strong. And his baby brother even turns invisible! But all Peter can do is--this is really embarrassing--make ice cubes with his fingertips.
