This book is about a boy who is experiencing negative comments from his father who has once been a criminal and know the boy’s little sister , his mother , himself and his father ,who gets angry when they have done nothing wrong, are in a new town with new identities and the boy is having trouble finding friends.When he finally makes a good friend he is in his super hero team where they stop bad guys.When Finn/Damian (the boy who has a father who is suddenly taking them to fun place and being jolly ) discovers that his father is still doing bad stuff and stopped him just in time and handed him to the police and know the father is in jail and will be there for a long time .My favourite character is Millie. I recommend this interesting book.

It was absolutely hilarious and it had a plot twist and I love plot twists.

My favourite character was Tel, because I liked how he was funny but also sometimes scary, in my opinion this book was good, and I would recommend it to my friends or family, the only down side is that they kind of rushed Mary’s story and it wasn’t very clear, but after reading the pages over and over again it became clear. This book was definitely one of my favourite crime books and I hope there will be others like it.

Your family is in witness protection because of your Dad; you've moved from your swish house to a crummy estate; the weirdest kid on the estate befriends you; he's a superhero and now - apparently - so are you. Things will get back to normal soon though, right?
A funny and heart-warming story showing what can happen when we think of others instead of just ourselves and when we realise that we can be our own heroes. A great read for Y6, 7 & 8.
