The World’s Worst Superheroes by David Walliams (illustrated by Adam Stower)

Get ready for a roller-coaster of laughs, capes and chaos in The World’s Worst Superheroes, the latest illustrated collection by bestselling author David Walliams and award-winning illustrator Adam Stower. This paperback edition (ISBN 9780008604141) spans 336 pages of humorous adventures crafted for readers aged 7 and up. 
Each of the ten stories shines a spotlight on the most un-super of superheroes: from WonderQueen (when the queen is not just the queen) to Thunderhound (when that’s not a plane but a suspiciously large bird) and Dino-Kid (who tackles school-teachers turned dinosaurs).
Filled with secret lairs, mistaken identities, absurd disguises and oversized animals, this book engages young readers with action, humour and vibrant full-colour illustration. It’s designed to spark imagination, giggles and a love for reading. The narrative tone is irreverent and playful, making it ideal for independent readers or shared reading between child and parent.
In addition, the book’s format makes it approachable: a spacious layout, bold illustrations, and a pace that keeps momentum with surprises around every corner. As part of Walliams’s celebrated “World’s Worst” series, it captures the same energy and appeal that has made his works popular worldwide. 
Whether you’re shopping for a birthday gift, stocking a classroom bookshelf, or simply looking to introduce your child (or your inner-child) to absurd superhero antics — The World’s Worst Superheroes delivers fun in spades. With ISBN 9780008604141, this edition brings hours of entertainment with a twist: the heroes aren’t perfect, they’re hilariously imperfect — and that’s exactly what makes them super.
