(3) 4-6 Justice Jack, a wannabe superhero (Costume? Check. Booming voice? Check.) wants to recruit thirteen-year-old Sammy as his sidekick. After all, Sammy is known for "giving evildoers a nonstop tour of Fist City." Van Draanen's protagonist is still fresh and feisty as ever in this, her fifteenth outing, and her portrait of a do-gooder "goofy guy in cheap hero gear" is remarkably poignant.
