A note for parents
This is a multi-author speculative fiction anthology with stories centered on sidekick characters stepping into heroic roles. Since it's an anthology of short stories by different authors, content varies, but the overall tone appears aimed at young adult and older teen readers interested in science fiction and fantasy. Without access to individual story details, assessment is limited, but the theme emphasizes courage and character growth over graphic content.

Sidekicks are used to being hidden from the spotlight shining on the hero they support. They work behind the scenes, doing their best to support their more famous companion. There are times when the sidekick becomes the hero, when they have to step up and save not only their hero, but sometimes the entire world. This anthology is about sidekicks who humbly take those chances. Not just the usual sidekicks normally associated with Superheros -- "any" kind of sidekick in a science fiction or fantasy setting. This anthology evolved from a panel at MileHiCon in Denver, Colorado, titled "So You Want To Be in an Anthology?" The stories contained within were contributed by attendees of that panel. All net proceeds are donated to support MileHiCon. Make sure you attend MileHiCon and go to the panel to be invited to the 2016 anthology.
