Smith, C: Kid Normal and the Shadow Machine

After the reading and loving the first two books in this series, I was very excited ... And it was as good as, if not better! The story is great, it's hilarious and I can't wait to read another! I have told all my friends about this series and they're now reading them too. Highly recommend - a brilliant read!
It is a very funny book and makes you laugh out loud. It is filled with exciting adventure ... It is definitely worth reading this book, if you are fans of Diary Of the Wimpy Kid or Tom Gate[s] books
This was a great and funny book ... It was so hilarious at some points but mysterious at other parts. I would recommend this book to children aged 9+
PRAISE FOR KID NORMAL: So funny, it's almost criminal
Outrageous capers for eight and up . Amusingly surreal super-powers and a trust yourself message combine to strong effect with Erica Salcedo's entertaining, huge-eyed images
An extraordinary tale about an ordinary boy in a world of heroes ... A fast-paced, humorous adventure with likeable heroes and a suitably ridiculous, evil villain
Packed with very amusing asides, it's a fun and fast-paced read that will make James and Smith into children's heroes
Chock full of slapstick humour, outrageous characters and pop culture references. It mocks school pecking orders and will make all kids who have fallen foul of them feel much better about it. And somehow, it ties all the mania together in a credible and thrilling story
A superlative adventure story that will resonate with children who like to read whacky, wild things
This spoof superhero epic certainly delivers: deliciously dastardly villains, capes, tights and mild-mannered heroes. Yet it also explores familiar school anxieties that everyone else is smarter, stronger, better
A very promising start to a laugh-out-loud funny adventure series
Incredibly funny, witty and stuffed full of heart
