My name is Adam Butters. I live on planet Earth, I like eating spaghetti hoops and I've decided I'm going to be a SUPERHERO.
Everyone loves superheroes, they solve problems and make people happy, and that's good because my mum needs cheering up. Also, I've found out that before I was adopted my real mum called me ACE. So now I've just got to prove to the world that's what I am. One mission at a time...
Hilarious, heart-warming and heart-breaking in equal measure, this is a story about the power in all of us to be extraordinary.

A touching and amusing story about belonging and the search for an heroic identity.
A heartwarming story of personal discovery, friendship, family and discovering what 'being home' truly means.
Family love comes first in a beautiful, sensitive and utterly life-affirming story from award-winning children's author and queen of hearts Lara Williamson.... Williamson uses her trademark blend of warmth, humour and hope as she weaves an entertaining but touchingly clever story about one boy's journey of emotional and personal discovery. Prepare to laugh and cry in equal
measure.
The beauty of this book is not just the path of emotions we travel along - it is the humour. The humour is there from page one and is wonderfully and delicately interwoven throughout the story... This book has a strong core - or rather a heart - and... is an honest picture of the ebbs and flows of family life
This sensitive, funny story looks at what it means to love and be loved and the importance of belonging. It is so all-enveloping that you'll feel the warmth seep through you whatever any age.
