Max by Bob Graham
The 2000 Smarties Gold Prize Winner about little Max, the reluctant superhero. It's not easy being the son of legendary superheroes Captain Lightning and Madam Thunderbolt. Max has a cape and a mask, but he doesn't fly. His parents just can't understand it - nor can the children at school. It seems as if Max is just an ordinary boy, until finally, to save a falling baby bird, Max does fly! Now will he be a great crime-fighter like his parents? No, Max will be a small hero, doing small deeds. "The world needs more of those," says his mum.
