Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee 283 pages
High-schooler Jessica Tran rebels against her superhero parents by getting an internship with their archenemy. Along the way she faces normal high school troubles, like a crush on her coworker Abby, and not-so-normal troubles, like a government conspiracy out to destroy heroes and villains alike.
This is a classic YA superhero story with a refreshingly diverse cast. While the climax is marred by confused pacing and a few awkward loose ends, I enjoyed the book overall and am glad for its inclusion in the library’s collection.
