Description
Sidekicks (Sidekicks: A Graphic Novel, Book 1) by Dan Santat introduces us to Captain Amazing, the hometown hero of Metro City, who is on the lookout for a new sidekick!
Heroes from near and far are auditioning for the part, but there are four unlikely candidates stirring up the competition: a dog, a cat, a hamster, and a chameleon. These are the adoring pets of Captain Amazing’s alter ego, Harry. Each pet has been secretly honing their own superpowers, driven by a desire to spend more time with their beloved human.
As competition heats up for the coveted role, a familiar threat emerges. Captain Amazing’s longtime nemesis, Dr. Havoc, returns, and this time, Captain Amazing cannot defeat him alone.
With the citizens of Metro City in imminent danger, these battling pets must set aside their squabbles to save the day. Can they unite in time to become the sidekick Metro City desperately needs?
