Just Call Me Spaghetti-Hoop Boy by Lara Williamson

Adam Butters is happy with his adoptive family but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel like a part of him is missing. Especially when he finds his birth certificate with his original name, Ace, on. He has two names, two identities – just like a Superhero!

And Adam is determined to be superhero. He’s going to save a life, help animals and old people, and make everyone happy. He thinks this will make his adoptive mum stop being so sad and his real mum want him again. But it’s not the easiest of superhero missions, and it takes a painful discovery for him to realise you don’t have to be super to be a hero.

All Lara’s books have something in common; they are about families. Lara says; “Mostly I explore themes that can affect families: loss of a loved one, rejection, disappointment, separation from a parent, illness but they’re balanced with other things that surround families like love, acceptance, connection with a parent, happiness and contentment.”
