Sidekicked

Sidekicked by Anderson, John David. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780062133144.

Drew Bean might be a part of a secret organization for the training of superhero sidekicks, but that doesnt mean that life is all leaping tall buildings in single bounds. Drew is possessed of super senses--his hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell are the most powerful on the planet--making him literally the most sensitive kid in school. And then theres his best friend, Jenna--their friendship would be complicated enough if she werent able to throw an eighteen-wheeler the length of a city block. Add in trying to keep his sidekick life a secret from everyone, including his parents, and the truth is clear: middle school is pretty much a drag regardless of whether you have superpowers. But this is all before a supervillain long thought dead returns to the city of Justica and Drews two identities threaten to crash head-on into each other. Drew has always found it pretty easy to separate right from wrong, good from evil. Its what a superhero does. But what happens when that line starts to disappear? If you love superheroes, action, sarcasm, dangling above pits of acid, and/or people who secrete granite from their pores, you will love Sidekicked, John David Andersons hilarious middle-grade superhero coming-of-age story.
