Book
1:
Secret Identity
Alvin Bixby: Hulking, knuckles of steel, hideous
breath, foul temper. Kids call him: Bubba.
Nolan Byrd: Puny, power walker, math genius, can't keep shoes
tied. Kids call him: Nerd.
Bubba has been the bane of Nolan's existence for five long years.
So when Mr. Green asks the class to become reporters, Nolan decides
he'll write an exposé — on Bubba. He doesn't want
to sign his name to it (that'd be suicidal), so Nolan creates
a secret identity for himself on the Internet. He launches Shredderman.com
as a place where truth and justice prevail-and bullies get what's
coming to them.
This hilariously triumphant story is for any kid who's ever dreamed
of unleashing their own inner superhero!

Book 2:
Attack of the Tagger
Nolan Byrd single-handedly saved his school
from the bullydom of Alvin "Bubba" Bixby. He posted proof of Bubba's
exploits on the Web at Shredderman.com. Now Shredderman is the school
hero! But since Shredderman's identity is a secret, everyone still
treats Nolan like ... a nerd.
But inside this nerd beats a superhero's heart — one dedicated
to truth and justice. So when a vandal spray-paints graffiti around
town — and even on his teacher's van — Nolan decides
that tracking down the tagger is a job for Shredderman.
But while he's trying to trap the tagger, the tagger is trying
to pin the blame on Shredderman! Can Nolan turn the tables back
around before his secret identity is revealed?

4:
Enemy Spy
Shredderman.com
just made the national news! Everyone is talking about the new cyber-superhero.
Oh yeah!
But now people are dying to know who is behind Shredderman.com.
Reporters are snooping all over Cedar Valley! Oh no!
Nolan's parents and even his sidekick, Mr. Green, think he should
lay low for a while. But being Shredderman is the best thing that's
ever happened to Nolan. It's so much better than being Byrd-the-Nerd.
Plus, Nolan's just stumbled across what might be a real spy-ring!
How can Shredderman not try to fight it?
But some problems are too big for even a superhero to handle.
Sometimes the mask gets in the way. Will Nolan's quest for truth
and justice mean he has to give up his secret identity? Can he
become a superhero in real life?
