Caldecott Medalist, National Book Award winner, and New York
Times bestselling creator Dan Santat returns to Sidekicks
with a brand-new adventure in this second series installment! Suit
up for high-octane action and laughs!
There's trouble at the Society of Superheroes!
Captain Amazing, the longtime hero of Metro City, has retired,
and he's enjoying a much-needed vacation at the World's Biggest
Ball of Yarn. But while he's away, there's trouble at home! A massive
data breech disrupts the Society of Superheroes, and a flash
drive containing sensitive information about Captain Amazing and
other heroes winds up in reckless hands. Meanwhile, an unannounced
visitor named Whipley arrives at the captain's house, and his
pet sidekicks -- Manny, Roscoe, and Fluffy -- are skeptical of the
stranger's intentions. The only sidekick excited by the visit is
Shifty.
Could Whipley be Shifty's loving, long-lost brother as he claims?
Or is he framing the sidekicks for his own personal gain and
vengeance?
