About The Book
Three Autistic friends try to save their school from never-ending maths in this fast and fun story, told from a rarely seen perspective.
Superheroes for a Day tells the engaging story of Max, Daniel, and Natalie’s mission to save their school from endless maths lessons.

Filled with delightful illustrations, Superheroes for a Day is an empowering tale of friendship, bravery, and the remarkable abilities that often go unnoticed in those who are different.

– Buzz Words Magazine
“The information about children on the autism spectrum never dominates what is an engaging, sometimes suspenseful, character-driven story. Highly recommended for the story, the realistic representation of a significant group and potential to increase understanding, tact and tolerance in schools and wider communities.”
