A superhero sidekick would be wonderful! Not to steal the scene from the hero himself, but to highlight his character and abilities more.

Maybe Toni could have a superhero friend with a disability, maybe a young girl. I wouldn't want her to be a sidekick, however, but someone who is just as strong and 'powerful' as Toni.

Ofcourse, it would make for an interesting twist in the storyline. I hope the author thinks about it.

There is no need for Toni to have superhero friends. Such characters would have taken the attention from Toni.

Well, I think if Tony had superhero friends the book would probably explode with fun. Maybe more friends like Tony will be introduced later.

Superhuman friends would be a great idea they might add that in the next book.

It would have been nice if Toni had a sidekick, maybe one who liked video game.
The author has Toni playing outside so much it looks like they are pushing an agenda. Having a sidekick who likes indoor activities better will give children an alternative hero to identify with.
Ohhh! I like this opinion! I totally agree with giving him a sidekick who enjoys indoor activities--introverts unite! This also gives younger readers two kinds of characters to identify with and relate to--which is so good for young readers. Thanks for your insight!

If Toni had superhero friends or a sidekick, the story would change a lot because Toni will not longer be the main character of the book but it could be interesting to add some superhero friends in future book. The children will love it.

If Toni had friends, that would certainly give it more of a story-line depending on how the author chooses to let them interact with one another. I think it would be great, perhaps even more appealing to older readers.

I absolutely agree. Superhero friends would not have been a bad idea and would have made the narration a bit richer even for the children.

My little disappointment with the book is in the fact that it was short and direct.
Had Toni had the pleasure of say, a mini superman, things would definitely have been more interesting. The plot and themes would have been longer and more enjoyable

The more good kids the better. They could all be role models. It would be nice if they were really diverse too.

I think if Toni had a superhero friends then the entire storyline of the book will change.
