Three friends with high-functioning autism try to save their school from never-ending maths in this fast and fun story, told from a rarely seen perspective.

Superheroes for a Day tells the engaging story of Max, Daniel, and Natalies mission to save their school from endless maths lessons. Using their unique abilities like heightened memory and attention to detail, they turn their differences into superpowers. While handling their individual traits, they find the courage to become heroes, at least for a day, in the eyes of their schoolmates.

The book seeks to normalize the experiences of high-functioning autistic kids who are often seen as uncool because of their quirks. By making them the heroes, the story offers insight into their personal experiences and perspectives in a fun and engaging manner, resonating with readers in mainstream classrooms.

Filled with delightful illustrations, Superheroes for a Day is an empowering tale of friendship, bravery, and the remarkable abilities that often go unnoticed in those who are different.
