"As riveting a rendition of superdom as even Superman's creator could have pulled off."
- The New York Times Book Review "Anderson tackles some heady topics, including superhero morality, teenage confusion, and divided loyalties, playing with the usual comic book tropes without treading on overly familiar ground … There’s a lot to enjoy, from memorable characters to a complex yet accessible plot, in this superhero story that any comics fan will enjoy." - Publishers Weekly starred review "Will make you wish you could turn pages faster than a speeding bullet just to find out what's going to happen next." - Margaret Peterson Haddix, author of a ton of great books "It's the perfect training manual for superheroes everywhere. And that means all of us." - Kirkus Reviews "Anyone who enjoys superhero stories will most definitely want to read Sidekicked.
