Leonard can’t wait to start Superhero School. “He was fired up to leap tall buildings in a single bound… He was revved up and raring to go to stop speeding runaway trains.” But on the very first day his teacher, the Blue Tornado, is all about the times table. “I’m sure I’ll be too busy destroying alien death rays to ever worry about multiplication,” Leonard tells him. “Mr. Tornado just chuckled. This was very troubling.” Soon there is division to learn, and fractions, too. Math is seriously subduing Leonard’s excitement for Superhero School. But when ice zombies strike and kidnap all of the teachers, Leonard and his classmates discover that math skills are just as important as superhero powers when it comes to saving the day in Aaron Reynolds’s playful, witty picture book. Andy Rash gets into the spirit of the storytelling with his boisterous cartoon-style illustrations. (Ages 6–10)

Superheroes-in-training use math to save the day, in this action-packed picture book by the bestselling author of Creepy Carrots.

Leonard is no ordinary kid--he's enrolled in Superhero School, where leaping tall buildings in a single bound is child's play. If only long division, fractions, and multiplication came as naturally! But when Mr. Tornado and the rest of the teachers get kidnapped by some ice zombies, Leonard and his pals will need to use their math skills if they stand any chance of dividing (and conquering) the enemy.

With the humor and accessible math concepts of I'm Trying to Love Math and the superhero appeal of Marvel, this is the perfect book to show young ones how math skills can be their own superpower.
