Peter Winkle Son of Super Man: Magnificent Mutants / Kids to Heroes Suzanne Kehde

Peter Winkle just lost his dad to the war in Afghanistan. He's having trouble getting his brain wrapped around the loss. Then a crop circle gives Peter an opening into an alternate universe. In his universe, he is a skinny sixth-grader who fights for the underdog against bullies who are sometimes tricked into eating worm brownies. His best buddy is Fanny Braid and neither of them minds taking a little abuse in the cause of truth and justice. In the alternate universe, he is Peter Winkle Son of Super Man. He has super powers and uses them to battle Moleman, Lizard Boy and the twin amoebas. The weird thing--if this isn't weird enough--is that his dead dad turns up in Super Peter's world and Peter wants nothing more than to bring him home. But in bringing him home, he turns his own universe on its ear.
