It all started innocently enough, with Jody winning a tennis match. Little did she know she was wiping out Jefferson's sports history. It didn't help that both were superheroes or that Jefferson was a dogkin while Jody was a robot. It was enough for them to fight each other while their sidekicks were kidnapped. Sam and Hamilton were locked in a room together and listened while their partners were forced to listen to the ramblings of their enemies, Flebus and Remus the 23rd. Hilarious antics ensue, which bring the two superheroes together as a team while coincidentally bringing their sidekicks together as well. In true super fashion, the enemies are defeated and sent packing.
This book is chock full of robotic, two-legged, sporting, and talking dogs as well as a mix of alien creatures, some bad ones, and life, of sorts carries on. The two characters at the beginning are highly competitive, and they are actually in high school. The fantasy takes you up and down. Language can be coarse. It's probably best for Readers 16 and up. The ending was a surprise.
