“The Minor Miracle has everything! Superheroes, bad guys, epic trumpet solos, slam dunks, and hilarious hijinks galore. It will make your heart ZING!”—Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth “The Minor Miracle is major fun! Noah and his super crew may stretch the laws of physics with their fantastic feats, but it’s the friendships that give this story its true power. You will find yourself rooting for Noah—and laughing out loud—all the way!”—Christina Soontornvat, bestselling author of The Tryout “A fresh, fun, and fantastic take on what it means to be a superhero!”—Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Ancestor Approved and Sisters of the Neversea “We might think we know all about superheroes, but Meredith Davis, in her debut novel, gives us a spectacular new one—Noah Minor. In a plot filled with twists and turns, readers will discover the same thing Noah does—that superheroism isn’t always about saving the world using extraordinary powers. Sometimes it’s about saving your best friends, and that requires the most amazing power of all: love. That alone is a miracle.”—Kathi Appelt, Newbery Honoree and National Book Award finalist
