The first book in “The Stupendous Switcheroo” series, “New Powers Every 24 Hours,” is a combination graphic and prose novel written by Mary Winn Heider and illustrated by Chad Sell. The book starts with our main character waking up with unexpected superpowers. Deciding to become a superhero, they call the headquarters of their favorite superhero, Vin Valor to see if he needs any super help. They do! The Stupendous Switcheroo learns that becoming a superhero isn’t easy, especially when your powers change every day.

Part adventure, part mystery, middle grade readers will enjoy the humor and excitement as well as the black, white, and teal illustrations throughout the book. Aimed at readers age 8 to 12, this book is a recommended purchase wherever mixed graphic/prose middle grade books (similar to “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”) are popular.
