‘The Fantastic Freewheeler Sixth-Grade Superhero’ by Molly Felder with illustrations by Scott Brown is a book for young readers about a boy who has superpowers.
Drew Daniels was an ordinary 6th grader until he received part of an alien spacecraft as a present. When a Martian shows up to claim it back, he trades it for a superpower and now Drew can absorb information through his touch. It’s great for passing math tests, but will Drew use it to help his friends?
Drew is a great character and I liked this imaginative story. The art is fun and young readers should enjoy it.

This was a rather fun book about Drew who has CP. His friend gifts him a shard from Area 51 for his birthday. Aliens come and grant his wish to learn anything just by touch. He uses his newfound powers for good. He makes new friends, helps find a lost journal, and ensures the aliens will have something interesting to watch far into the future. This is a short and entertaining graphic novel intended for elementary school but enjoyed by all ages. Drew has Cerebral Palsy known as CP and while it’s not a main part of the story, how he explains things to his friends in the beginning is a great lesson for any child.
