In this companion novel to Batchelder-winning Brown, illustrated by outstanding Norwegian cartoonist Øyvind Torseter, Jack's plan to impress the new girl in town goes hilariously wrong. The trio of friends from Batchelder-winning Brown is back, this time following the adventures of Jack. When a new girl moves to town, Jack is determined to impress and befriend her. The only problem? Her mom is supposedly a famous singer, and she'll only stick around if she can find some celebrity friends. So Jack hatches a plan to land himself in the newspaper: he's going to rescue the chairmans prize-winning hen. Of course, that means he has to "borrow" it first. But when the "borrowed" hen then goes missing, Jack finds himself in some serious trouble. He's going to need some superhero help to find the missing hen and set things right.

Enter Black—Jacks superhero alter ego—to the rescue! Along with his faithful companions Brown and Blue, of course. While Brown and Blue might not completely understand what has happened or why they're involved, neither does Jack, really. But they're ready for action and raring to go! An endearing and playful middle grade book about friendship, fame, and fun.

The second book in Håkon Øvreås award-winning My Alter Ego Is A Superhero trilogy, Black, can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. Black is illustrated throughout by one of Norway's greatest cartoonists, Øyvind Torseter.
