Amazing Ash & Superhero Ah Ma Book 1 - Paperback

by Melanie Lee (Author), Arif Rafhan (Illustrator)

Eleven-year-old Ash doesn't have much to look forward to: math tests, a naggy Mum, and an Ah Ma who doesn't know much about her. That is, until she discovers something that will change her life--Ah Ma is a superhero! The best part is, Ash discovers that she has superpowers too!

Life is so much more exciting as a superhero-in-training. However, Ash can't help but notice that Ah Ma sometimes gets a little absent-minded while showing her the ropes.

Amazing Ash & Superhero Ah Ma is a funny and heartwarming story about family and acceptance. Growing up and growing old is never easy--and all the more perplexing when secrets and superpowers are added to the mix.
