Youth Advisory Council Recommendation: The Stupendous Switcheroo

The Stupendous Switcheroo by Mary Winn Heider and Chad Sell

“A boy who loves this one superhero, Vin Valor! One day, the boy wakes up to his slippers floating. But it wasn’t his slippers controlling it, it was him! I recommend this book for kids who like adventure. I think 7-8 years old would suit this book.” — Lyle V., age 8

The morning of his mom's business trip, Switcheroo wakes up to discover he has telekinesis. Which is super convenient when he has to give his babysitter-robot the slip to fight crime all day. But it's less convenient when he's recruited to fight crime again the next day, only to realize he can no longer move objects with his mind. Instead, he can talk to cats! Fun, but not nearly as useful. A new superpower every day should be exciting, right? What could possibly go wrong?
