A Fishboy Named… Sashimi gets the spotlight and reviewed by our youngest reviewer!

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the town of Barnacle Bay, a creature lurks. He’s come from the ocean, in search of others like him.

To fit in with humans, Sashimi sneaks into an elementary school and pretends to be a student. But he’s clearly a fish out of water!

When Sashimi finds out the whole town is on the hunt for the Beast of Barnacle Bay―a creature who sounds a lot like Sashimi―hijinks ensue! Fortunately, with the help of a new friend and the class goldfish, Sashimi figures out a way to stay afloat.

Sidekicks: Thick as Thieves is fantastic as expected. A fun graphic novel for kids and adults!

Posted on by

There’s trouble at the Society of Superheroes!

Captain Amazing, the longtime hero of Metro City, has retired, and he’s enjoying a much-needed vacation at the World’s Biggest Ball of Yarn. But while he’s away, there’s trouble at home! A massive data breech disrupts the Society of Superheroes, and a flash drive containing sensitive information about Captain Amazing and other heroes winds up in reckless hands. Meanwhile, an unannounced visitor named Whipley arrives at the captain’s house, and his pet sidekicks — Manny, Roscoe, and Fluffy — are skeptical of the stranger’s intentions. The only sidekick excited by the visit is Shifty.

Could Whipley be Shifty’s loving, long-lost brother as he claims? Or is he framing the sidekicks for his own personal gain and vengeance?

But while each pet is focused on winning the coveted sidekick spot, an even bigger battle in Metro City is about to unleash…

Dan’s always been a good kid. The kind of kid who listens to his teachers, helps his mom with grocery shopping, and stays out of trouble. But being a good kid doesn’t stop him from being bullied and feeling like he’s invisible, which is why Dan has low expectations when his parents send him on a class trip to Europe.
