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.
Me reading this book was ENTIRELY my younger brothers fault. He picked it up at the library and never read it (he never reads - how is he related to me???) which was probably good because it was a little to adult for an eleven year old.
Anyway, SIDEKICKS was a fun book with an awesome plot and amazing characters. I loved how the ultra-bad guy was a better person than the 'good guy' and the romance was sweet, if not majorly fast-paced (enemies to kissing in two days or less!). It was a fast, fun, action-packed read.
The characters were extremely well developed. The main character, Bright Boy, was fun to read about. Monkeywrench was an awesome character because she could totally kick your butt, but she wasn't all "I don't need you". The plot was amazing an there were some things I didn't know about until the book told you.
Girls, don't put this book down because of the action or super-heroes (though honestly, who doesn't love super-heroes?) and boys, don't put it down because of the romance. This novel is amazing and won't disappoint.
I give this book a
5/5 and would
recommend it to boys and girls alike, especially if you love superheroes.
Violence: Moderate. A lot but no gore.

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . . 
Kendra Hilferty, the witch who curses Kyle Kingsbury in Beastly, tells about her immortal existence-how she discovered she was a witch and the various ways she has used her powers to help people throughout the centuries. (Unfortunately her attempts have often backfired.) As it turns out, Kendra has actually had a hand in "Hansel and Gretel," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Little Mermaid"-but these are not the fairy tales you think you know! Kendra's reminiscences are wrapped around a real-time version of "Cinderella," except the "ugly" stepsister is the good guy. With dark twists, hilarious turns, and unexpected endings, Bewitching is a contemporary read for fairy-tale lovers, fantasy fans, and anyone looking for more Alex Flinn.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like the concept, but is it just a bit to cluttered? And I don't love how the nice dark blue turns into an unnatural blue into the dusty desert. TAKE OUT THE UGLY BLUE!!!!!!!! Haha, yeah... so what do you think?
Tada!!!!!
