  6. This book was about a dog and a hamster who want to sign up for sidekick auditions. My favorite character is Shifty the lizard because I like lizards and he is funny. Plus he can change colors. I liked the book because the animals are trying to be superheroes. You should read this book because it is funny, packed with adventure, and exciting.
