Extraordinary Ernie and Marvellous Maud
Author(s): Frances Watts
Ernie Eggers is thrilled when he wins a superhero contest and becomes Extraordinary Ernie (after school on Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays and all day Saturday). But his excitement turns to dismay when he discovers that his sidekick is a sheep. It doesn't take him long to realise though that there has never been another sheep quite like Marvellous Maud.
