A timely series with an important message and the potential to have a huge impact.

The environmental message is strong and is a good support for the current attention being given to demonstrations against climate change by young people across the world. This black and white graphic novel will appeal to reluctant readers because of its format but will also attract more competent readers through the strong message and the status the team creates for itself. Superheroes are sure to attract many readers, and of course the Sidekicks solve the problems and win over world leaders.
