John David Anderson returns to the world of superheroes he created in Sidekicked with an entirely new cast of characters in Minion, a funny and emotional companion to his first breakout tween novel--perfect for superhero fans who also love the work of bestselling authors Rick Riordan, Louis Sachar, and Frank Cottrell Boyce.
Michael Morn might be a villain, but he's really not a bad guy. When you live in New Liberty, there are no Supers and only two kinds of people: those who turn to crime and those who suffer. Michael and his adoptive father spend their days building boxes--special devices with mysterious abilities--that they sell to the mob at a price. They provide for each other, they look out for each other, and they'd never betray each other.
But then a Super comes to town, and Michael's world is thrown into disarray. The Comet could destroy everything Michael and his dad have built, the safe and secure life they've made for themselves. And now Michael and his father face a choice: to hold tight to their life or to let it unravel.
What happens when being the bad guy is the only life you've ever known?
- Son of a Supervillain: Michael isn't evil, and his adoptive father is more of a mad scientist than a criminal mastermind. But in New Liberty, that's close enough.
- Moral Complexity: When a real hero, The Comet, arrives in town, Michael's black-and-white world explodes into shades of gray. Is he supposed to be the bad guy in this story?
- Unique Superpowers: Michael's gift of suggestive hypnosis has always helped him get what he wants, but it might not be enough to save the only family he's ever had.
- Coming of Age Adventure: A funny, action-packed story about choosing your own path, discovering that being a hero isn't as simple as it looks, and what it truly means to be a family.
