A fun & inclusive highly illustrated mystery adventure
Young readers aged 5+ will be gripped by Solving Crimes is NOT My Superpower by Nathanael Lessore. Plus they'll have fun with the accompanying activity pack which we created for Parrot Street Book Club subscribers in May 2025.
“Nathanael Lessore is an award-winning writer whose funny and inclusive books for tweens and early teens have been on our radar for a while, and we're delighted that he's turned his hand to fiction for newly independent readers. Solving Crimes is NOT My Superpower is a witty, action-packed, empathy-filled fantasy crime caper with brilliant characters and fun black and white illustrations throughout.”
~Sarah
Controlling the wind, smelling fear, farting colours... The people of Walsham can do it all! The WHOLE TOWN has been granted powers by a mysterious treasure, except for Sara. Shecan't even levitate a squirrel!
But the school football trophy (and her best friend's lucky charm) has been stolen, and powers or no powers, it's up to her to find it and catch the criminal. And who knows - maybe Sara will discover her super skills in the process... (She certainly hopes she will!).
Nathanael Lessore grew up in a North Peckham estate as one of eight children to French and Madagascan parents. His debut book Steady For This was shortlisted for the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing 2024 and won the Branford Boase Award 2024. Becoming a writer is a dream come true, and he will never take this journey for granted.
The activity pack includes book club-style questions to ponder, fun facts about football trophies, and a delicious recipe for minestrone soup, alongside stickers, jokes and further reading recommendations. Find out what your own superpower us, design a set of football cards and make superhero cuffs!
Activity packs are a handy A5 size and printed on uncoated paper which is fully recyclable.

We are a monthly book subscription by post for children aged 5 to 14, focused on helping families discover new and different chapter books.
This title was sent to subscribers in the Parakeet reading group, aged roughly 5 to 8, who are emerging or newly independent readers. Many in this group prefer to listen to the books being read aloud by an adult.
