David Solomons is one of the The Guardian’s ’50 writers you should read now’

The Guardian have published a list of “Fresh voices: 50 writers you should read now” – and we’re delighted to see that it includes David Solomons, author of the best-selling and award-winning My Brother is a Superhero series, as one of only five authors of children’s and young adult fiction!

Of David’s work, The Guardian write: “The Scottish screenwriter represents the best in contemporary comic writing for children – splendidly zany, full of irresistible trivia,but never scrimping on the emotional undertow that ensures longevity and heart. His first book for children, My Brother Is a Superhero, is subtitled “I could have been one too, except I needed a wee”; the story of comic geek Luke and his older brother Zack, unfairly given superpowers by a visiting alien, it won the Waterstones prize for children’s fiction in 2016, and its two sequels have since been flying off the shelves.”

You can read the full list of fifty writers here.

And here’s a look inside the latest book in the My Brother is a Superhero series, My Evil Twin is a Supervillain:
