Secret Identity — Wendelin Van Draanen

Alvin Bixby -- hulking, knuckles of steel, hideous breath, foul temper. Kids call
him: Bubba.

Nolan Byrd -- puny, power walker, math whiz, can't keep his shoes tied. Kids call him: Nerd.

Bubba Bixby is a bully -- he cheats, steals, lies, cuts in line, and terrorizes little kids. Even teachers and principals can't seem to stop him. Nolan thinks it would take a superhero to make Bubba behave. But what no one knows yet is that there's a little superhero lurking within Nolan's nerdy exterior, just waiting for the chance to bust out. And when that happens -- Bubba better beware!
