Rapid Review - Sidekicks: Attack of the Mole Master

coverSidekicks: Attack of the Mole Master (hardcover) by Dan Danko and Tom Mason: Another fun little book. While this is recommended for young readers, I think fans of superheroes ought to enjoy it quite a bit for its ability to point out the silliness inherent in being a super-hero. I particularly enjoy the rants about Spandex. In this one, our hero goes to a superpowered picnic with his family, who have to remain anonymous as to keep his secret identity secret... which leads to some fun. He also has to rescue people, including the girl of his dreams, from the not-so-evil Mole Master who wants to conquer the neighborhood. And there is some more foreshadowing on two different fronts. Again, this is a fun series. Worth a read. If you feel like a light and easy book after reading all your comics and blogs, check out this series. 4 starfish
