Jake Williams is an over-confident 12-year-old with a tendency to make jokes at all the wrong times.

After eating radioactive ice cream, Jake receives the ability to shoot ice cream from his hands and fly, becoming Super Jake. Emboldened by his powers, he and his brother Kenny make the crazy decision to take on a new, growing enemy in North Westville Middle School: the Fashion Police, an upstart kid villain who wants everyone to dress according to his own fashion standards.

This middle-grade novel for preteen boys explores the trials of fitting in at school and the virtues it takes to be a hero. The book also answers the question that has surely been keeping you up at night: how can ice cream and bad jokes defeat a sinister supervillain bent on mind-controlling the entire city?

In the city of Westville, ice cream-shooting 12-year-old Super Jake is having fun as the sole hero. That is, until his world turns upside down when his younger brother, 11-year-old Kenny, receives his own unique ability: controlling his hair in extraordinary and unpredictable ways.

As Jake grapples with not being the only superpowered kid in the family while trying to make it as an investigative reporter, the brothers navigate their sibling rivalry. Their bond is put to the ultimate test when a sinister new villain emerges. Muscles, a P.E. coach with the ability to transform into a giant red monster, threatens the city with his twisted ideology: convincing young boys that physical might trumps character and heart.

With time running out, Super Jake and Kenny must unite, combining ice cream power with hair-raising tactics. But can they put aside their differences in time to understand the true meaning of strength? Will they discover that working together is the only way to save the city?
