Unusual from the day she is born, Thunder Rose performs all sorts of

Every super hero gets his powers from somewhere. The young hero of this
book, Rocco, thinks his abilities come from his shock of red hair, and
the longer it gets, the stronger he becomes. He even has a posse of
super friends with wild hair of their own. Our hero is
unstoppable--until the day he's dragged to the super evil villain's lair
and robbed of his powers. How will he face his friends? Will he ever
regain his super hero-ness? A girl who has been watching all along
offers the gang a chance to save the day and get their groove back.

Tune in as a father reads his children a
bedtime story about the exploits of two villains, Filth and Vacuum, and
their wicked plan to suck all the money out of the banks and cover
everything with muck and slime. Who is strong enough to save the world?
Not Steel Man, nor Flying Through the Air Very Fast Man, nor even
Incredible Big Strong Green Man. It may just be a job for clever young
Brad Forty, who transforms himself into . . . Extremely Boring Man! His
superpower is making people fall asleep — but will it work on the
children listening to this story?
