Obesity is soaring and is a worldwide epidemic: around 2.4 million children in the UK are affected by overweight. Parents are finding it harder to raise their children healthily due to the multitude of confusing nutritional messages in the media and an abundance of foods high in fat, sugar and salt targeted at children. In this comprehensive guide one of Great Ormond Street's specialist paediatric dietitians, Paul Sacher, not only provides parents with practical and accessible advice on nutrition and healthy eating, but also informs parents on changing their children's long-term behaviours to promote increased activity and a healthier lifestyle. From Kid to Superkid uses a unique three-pronged approach incorporating: - nutrition and diet: use of the glycaemic index to help decrease snacking and prevent weight gain - physical activity: the importance of play and goal setting - behaviour modification: using rewards and goals to improve self-esteem and confidence. With recipes, shopping lists, tips, exercises, case studies and resources, plus a comprehensive programme for life, this is the essential guide for all parents wishing to develop a healthy lifestyle for their child.

All parents want their kids to be healthy, but don’t always know how to accomplish that. With this book I hope to encourage, inspire, and give a helping hand to anyone who wants their family to live a healthier life with more physical activity and healthier choices and together, become a fitter, healthier and happier Super Family.

Being a big brother sucks. But it's worse when your baby sister has superpowers. Robbie Rampino knows this firsthand. As a seventh-grade comic book fan, he's psyched to discover his step-sister Val can control her electromagnetic field. He starts using her ability to help people, only to find himself clashing with Internet trolls, the department of Homeland Security, and his own family. At least no one knows his true identity - for now. But when Robbie realizes baby Val's powers were engineered by someone, he sets off on a dangerous mission to unmask the villain and bring them to justice, hopefully by nap time.

"Fresh, clever, hilarious - a brand new kind of superhero for today's smart and media-savvy kids." - KEVIN BURKE (Writer/Producer Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
