Secret Identity

Series: Shredderman (Book #1)

by Wendelin Van Draanen

Alvin Bixby: Hulking, knuckles of steel, hideous breath, foul temper. Kids call him: Bubba.

Nolan Byrd: Puny, power walker, math genius, can't keep shoes tied. Kids call him: Nerd.

Bubba has been the bane of Nolan's existence for five long years. So when Mr. Green asks the class to become reporters, Nolan decides he'll write an expose — on Bubba. He doesn't want to sign his name to it (that'd be suicidal), so Nolan creates a secret identity for himself — on the Internet. He launches Shredderman.com as a place where truth and justice prevail — and bullies get what's coming to them.

This hilariously triumphant story is for any kid who's ever dreamed of unleashing their own inner superhero!
