Beware the School Bus! Superhero Vs. School by Ethan Long

IN THE DARKEST NIGHT, YOU WILL FIND OUR HERO HURLING HIMSELF INTO ACTION. BUT REAL DANGER IS NEAR... THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

Despite Scotty's superpowers, our hero cannot stop time. The holidays are over. Not even a new backpack and a new shirt, freshly ironed by Mom, can ward off the mental miasma of the math worksheet, the horrors of the history book, the scourge of the science test, the stomach-churning special in the lunchroom, or the peril of the playground!

Beware! The Dreaded School Bus cometh! The dark and dangerous SCHOOL grows near!

But, WAIT! Who does he see, standing guard in front of the school?

Scotty is not alone! His five fearless friends--FIVE SUPERHEROES--equipped with crusading capes, bad-grade-blocking bracelets, and super-soaring powers--are ready to zoom into action and meet the challege of scholarship!

Scotty is feeling so empowered that he offers his new teacher an apple!

It's super school-power, in the award-winning Ethan Long's latest, Superhero vs. School (Bloomsbury, 2020), as Scotty gets by with a little help from his friends. As an illustrator, Long's style has become familiar to the picture-book crowd, and his spirited heroes have long triumphed in his humorous hits, such as Fright Club and Fangsgiving.
