The kids at school call her "Chubby Debbie."
Her parents and teachers call her just plain "Debbie."
It isn't until she discovers she can fly atop her white Thunderstrike bicycle that Debbie Fine knows deep down inside she's "Dizzy Fantastic--Fourth-grade Superhero!"
Unfortunately, Debbie has a hard time getting anyone to believe it. Her parents are too busy running their ice cream shop, her brother just thinks she's annoying, and not even her imaginary twin sister thinks Debbie's anything special. Then again, only a fourth-grade superhero would be brave enough to befriend Mean Mr. Wilson and his rabid black Labrador, T-Rex.
Just as life starts to go Debbie's way, a terrible tragedy strikes that Dizzy Fantastic is powerless to stop, and Debbie has to figure out how to trust herself and her own abilities before she can save the day once more.
Andy Hueller's delightful debut is a story for anyone who's ever felt alone or misunderstood - or has ever dreamed of unlocking the superhero within.
"A happy, tumbling fantasy, complete with a flying bike that allows a heroic rescue...and an endearing cast of character. The humor is light and catches you off-guard...A fine debut novel that should keep the upper-elementary school crowd turning the pages."-Donna Jo Napoli, Professor of Linguistics, Swarthmore College
