The Bangle Bombers Blast Banks

Kaboom! A massive explosion rocks the city. Criminals-dubbed the Bangle Bombers-blow open a bank vault, steal everything in sight, and vanish without a trace-except for a single bangle left behind. The blast jolts awake 11-year-old Kyle Alexander-awkward, anxious, and secretly the superhero Cockroach (a name mockingly given by a nasty criminal). After a long night of crime fighting, Kyle had hoped for rest. But in a city crawling with dangerous crooks, heroes don't sleep much. In this engaging book, which received "Editor's Choice" in both Publishers Weekly and The Children's Book Review, Kyle is bullied at school and by another superhero, his Grammy asks way too many questions about his strange behavior, and he faces a deadly encounter at the Bangle Bombers' hideout.
