The Super Sidekicks: Trial of Heroes

Being a Sidekick Is Hard. Being a Hero Is Harder. Being Both? Nearly Impossible!

The Super Sidekicks: Trial of Heroes by Gareth P. Jones is a brilliantly funny and action-packed superhero adventure about the kids who stand in the shadows of the world's greatest heroes — and are about to step into the spotlight. When the sidekicks are put through the ultimate Trial of Heroes, they must prove they have what it takes to be more than just backup. With laugh-out-loud humour, non-stop action, and a cast of wonderfully misfit heroes-in-training, this is a superhero story that celebrates the underdogs, the overlooked, and the ones who never give up.
