SynopsisScott Hutchinson, aka Bright Boy, the sidekick of Phantom Justice, begins to question how long he can remain in the shadow of the superhero after discovering that his nemesis, supervillain sidekick Monkeywrench, might be one of the most popular kids, Batman has Robin, Wonder Woman has Wonder Girl, and Phantom Justice has Bright Boy, a.k.a. Scott Hutchinson, an ordinary schoolkid by day and a superfast, superstrong sidekick by night, fighting loyally next to his hero. But after an embarrassing incident involving his too-tight spandex costume, plus some signs that Phantom Justice may not be the good guy he pretends to be, Scott begins to question his role. With the help of a fellow sidekick, once his nemesis, Scott must decide if growing up means being loyal or stepping boldly to the center of things. Praise for Sidekicks *STARRED REIVEW* -Scott's present-tense narration keeps pedal to the metal from start to finish, and readers will be quickly won over as the two super-strong, super-fast, super-likable protagonists face both inner conflicts and a Dark Knight-ish villain as deeply psychotic and scary as he is super powerful. Look for more twists than a pretzel factory and a possible sequel.- - Kirkus Reviews , starred review *STARRED REVIEW* -A delightfully clever take on superheroes with this unpredictable adventure. Engaging territory as Ferraiolo reveals the story's true depths.- - Publishers Weekly , starred review -An exciting, lightning-paced superhero plot that is also a thoughtful examination of superheroism.- - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books -Ferraiolo starts the cape-flying action right from the opening pages. Ferraiolo is delightfully unafraid to inject irreverence into the superhero formula, adding plenty of humor to the high adventure high jinks.- - Booklist

Just as described for a surprisingly great price
The book was like new and the price wasn't just competitive, but it was half of the other used copies I found. My copy had no writing in it either and looked new. I love this book but only read it once when I owned it before, now I have another chance without having to spend all my pocket money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
