About the Book:
Wings? Check. A super-cool, super-secret past? Check. An impossible mission to save the world from a super evil enemy? Check. When Tunde's parents take him back to the top-secret testing facility known as The Complex, he's nervous all over again about meeting others who share his extraordinary abilities. Making new friends quickly becomes the least of his problems, because something far more sinister is stirring, and it's going to take more than just the boy with wings to stop it. Now that flight alone isn't enough, Tunde must learn to fight alongside a whole new team of superpowered kids. Lenny Henry's storytelling crackles with sharp wit and comic timing, while never losing sight of the series' emotional core: self-discovery, courage and standing together. The 224-page hardback is highly illustrated throughout by Keenon Ferrell, whose dynamic artwork brings the superkids' powers and personalities to life on almost every spread, making it especially appealing for reluctant readers as well as bookworms. As book two, it deepens the mythology of The Complex while ramping up the jeopardy, humour and heart that made the first title such a hit with young readers.
