The next day Scott goes out for a walk and hears that people are screaming for help in the building were it was the fight with Trent. When he gets there Monkeywrench was waiting for Scott to show up. She finally tells Scott that she was dressed as Monkeywrench all the time and that Louis was still alive. They needed to lie to Scott to be protected from Phantom Justice and be safe. Finally, they forgive each other and promise each other to fight crime always at the same side.  
                                                               
THE END  


"What were they testing?" "You don´t want to know." "You're right. ALLISON!" [273]

Scott loves so much Allison that he never gives up on her and tries to reunited them both and be happy.  

"No! Not her body! She was here! Alive! Dressed as Monkeywrench! She distracted Trent so I could take him out." [285]

Scott feels misunderstood about the fact that his friends don't believe him that Allison is still alive.

Broke In Pieces

In the other side of the city, Trent and Edward create a lethal weapon to kill their personal sidekick in a epic final battle. While they are organizing everything, Scott and Alison are together talking. Scott got a call from Trent and Alison from his father. From the other side of the phone Trent was been attacked by Dr. Chaotic, now he captured Trent and Louis. When Scott got to the warehouse were Dr. Chaotic was he found Allison pretty confused at what was going on. Both Scott and Allison get into a fight, Scott is furious about this.
While they were fighting, Dr. Chaotic fires a dart of a lethal substance to Allison that immediately pulls her out of her neck. Scott fells to the ground screaming her name when Trent shoots a dart to him as well. Scott wakes up in the hospital, next to his bed he finds a shocking surprise. Jake Berkshire that always bully Scott had take him to the hospital and explain him that he had powers too. Also he explained why he pretend to bully him at school so that his secret identity will keep secret and that all the "official" fights he had with Phantom Justice weren't real. Scott got out of the hospital and goes to find Dr. Chaotic to find out if Allison is still alive. Phantom Justice came out of nowhere and start fighting with Scott, later he received help from Dr. Chaotic. Trent reveal that Allison have 3 powers and not 2 as the ordinary heroes. Scott escaped to find out where was Allison kept. 


"No, I´m not!" Allison yells. "I DON´T KNOW WHAT´S GOING ON!" "Louis is dead, Scott! He´s dead! And it´s all their fault!" Trent yells, "They did it together!" [233]

These shows that Trent is trying to confuse Scott to fight with Allison so that he follows Trent and it would be easy to betray him. 

I try to pick myself up, but I no longer know where up is. Allison. I have to get to Allison. She was´t lying. I have to get to her. Can´t stand up . . . can´t move . . . breathe. I have to save- [238]

This fragment of the book shows how Scott cares about Allison and how their love has grow bigger and bigger.

What I predict would happen next is that Scott will find Allison and both defeat Phantom Justice. Read my last blog post to know the resolution of the story.

Problematic Love Story


After lunch, Scott and Alison went to a store to find a new outfit for Bright Boy. They both decide a navy blue fighting costume that fits perfectly. Alison shows him her new version of the outfit of Monkeywrench. Both chase each other in the cities rooftops with their new costumes. In that moment Alison kisses Scott without realizing that a big group of people were standing there applauding and filming with their phones. In the morning, Scott is having breakfast to go to school while discussing with Louis the incident of last night. When he got to school everyone was talking about Bright Boy and Monkeywrench. In that moment the only thing that should worry him was the battle that will take place that night. Louis takes him out of class to get ready for the fight he yells at Scott that the video that the people took that night was all over the internet. When he gets home goes directly to his room and get dressed with his new costume ready to show it to Trent. He reacts negative to the costume and starts arguing with Scott. When they get to stop Dr. Chaotic and Monkeywrench in the fight, Scott starts talking to Alison while they are kicking each other. Eventually, they get to the same rooftop were they kissed each other and was with the same cheering and people screaming "Kiss!" Phantom finds them and they Scott he is suspended from being Bright Boy. The next day, Alison and Scott were having lunch in school when they heard that a woman was trying to protect her husband from some bad guys that were hitting them. Scott and Alison went to help them without their costumes and defeat the bad guys together. 




I step out. Allison stares at me. "Are you OK?" I ask. "Huh?" "I think it looks all right," I say tentatively. "You idiot. You look AMAZING." [142-143]

These quote shows that the friendship between Alison and Scott is growing and both are happy of spending time together. 

"In the office. I`m talking about your dying aunt, and you act like you wouldn't care less." "She wasn't even listening." "That`s not the point! This is about keep your cover. What if she was listening?" [165]

This dialogue between Louis and Scott in school shows that Scott doesn't care about his new image of Bright Boy and is acting like things doesn't matter anymore.

The next thing that I will predict it will happen is that Trent will plan something to destroy Bright Boy. Follow my blog to find out more of this exiting and interesting story.

Secrets and Lies

Bright Boy and Phantom Justice are fighting in the cities rooftops against Dr. Chaotic and Monkeywrench. In that instant Monkeywrench and Bright Boy start fighting against each other and both fell from the building. For the terrible fall Monkeywrench´s mask fell of, Scott recognize that she was a girl from school called Alison Mendes. Without waiting, Alison takes out Bright Boy´s mask and recognize his face too. After the fight ended, both Trent and Scott get in the car to go home and Scott tells Trent about the secret identity of Monkeywrench, Trent tells him that is convenient for him to stick with Alison for her to tell him her secrets and plans. Also both of them start a discussion about Scott´s outfit as Bright Boy. The next day at school Scott is trying to talk with Alison but she doesn't see him. At recess, Scott is walking around the hallway until he has been dragged to a dark room where is Alison ready to talk. The both get to a agreement to not revel each others identities to the rest of the people. In the underground´s of the city trent and Dr. Edward Simmons a.k.a. Dr. Chaotic are having a plan to betray their own sidekicks by their own side. While they both work on their plan Scott and Alison are having lunch together and sharing personal things to each other. 

And that´s when I notice Monkeywrench´s mask is gone... and that Monkeywrench isn´t a "he." "Alison? Mendez?" [80]

I think that Scott was very freaked out by this fact that Alison, one of the popular girls from his school was his archenemy and specially because Monkeywrench was not a boy. 

I spend the rest of the ride home staring out to the window. For the first time since I was a little kid, I find myself wishing for a completely different life. [95]

In this little fragment of the book explains how Scott is feeling about this total identity thing, he is nervous about what will happened if he talks to Alison and all goes wrong.

I predict that the next thing that will happen in the book will be that Scott and Alison will fall in love and both defeat Phantom Justice and Bright Boy. Keep following my blog to find out what happens with Alison and Scott.

It All Started When...

In the book called Sidekicks by Jack D. Ferraiolo, we meet a 13 year-old Scott Hutchinson a.k.a. Bright Boy. He has been sidekick of one of the cities most important hero Phantom Justice a.k.a. Trent Clancy who is also his legal guardian. These book narrates the like like of Scott in school as a normal kid and in action as a sidekick. Scott has been emmbarased in front of TV while he was saving a woman from falling down a building. At school everyone is talking of Bright Boy and making fun of him because of his yellow outfit. Scott is not a popular guy nor he has a lot of friends, in other words he is lonely. At night him and Phantom Justice are trying to stop a villian called Dr. Chaotic and his sidekick Monkeywrench. Bright Boy and Phantom Justice are having a hard time defeating these two villains. The next day in school Scott is very tired about what happened last night that he falls asleep. When class is over a girl called Olivia Duchamp wakes up Scott worried if something has happened to him, everything was nice until she confused Scott´s name and call him Steve. Furious, Scott plans how to defeat his nemesis Monkeywrench. 

I´m tired, and not thinking straight, but I´m also frustrated. I´m this close to flipping around the hallway, leaping onto the celling, then yelling into all their faces, "I´m Bright Boy! I always have been! I´ve been right here under your noses!" I want them to see up close what I´m capable of...just how fast and strong I am, because they seme to have no idea how far out of their league I am. [61] 

I feel that Scott is too young to live a double life as a sidekick, him at his age needs to have more friends and have a normal life as a 13 year-old. He is not ready yet to have that secret and want it to shout it out loud. 

"Hello, Snot," he says, as if changing my name from Scott to Snot is still the funniest thing anyone has ever done ever. His friends laugh as if to confirm it...again. I sigh...again. I know the most painful thing about this encounter for me is going to be Jake´s "jokes." 
"Get outta here," he tells the other kids. They all leave without a second thought. "What are you doing in my hallway, Snot?" [62] 


I think that since Scott is busy as Bright Boy he do not have time to share with his classmates and even make friends. Many people bully him because he is lonely an quiet. 



What I think is going to happend later in the book is that Bright Boy and Phantom Justice are going to defeat Dr. Chaotic and Monkeywrench and also that Scott finally makes a new friend. Join me on my next blog post to find out what really happened with Scott and Bright Boy.
