Opis

Young adult literature uses literary sidekicks in new and exciting ways, which changes how sidekicks are understood. Three ways authors elevate sidekicks include letting sidekicks "evolve" over the course of multiple texts, using parallel novels to add complexity to a sidekick's characterization, and telling a story from the sidekick's perspective.
