Set in northern Sydney, ''The Sidekicks'' is the story of three very different teenage boys with different lives, interests and secrets. But they shared the same best friend, Isaac. They were all sidekicks. And now that Isaac's gone, what does that make them?
Ryan is “The Swimmer” - kind hearted and genuine, and also gay, but hiding that from the world. Harley is “The Rebel” - bloody adorable, determined to make things right. Miles is “The Nerd”, and his brain will get him into trouble if he doesnt let anyone into his heart.
Right on the edge of manhood, they lose Isaac and have to deal with their friend’s death. Will this break them apart, or will they be able to find a way to reach out to each other? This is a story of love, loss, friendship, sexuality, homophobia and just wanting to fit in.
Australian Will Kostakis, award-winning author of ''The First Third'', gives us powerful moments of heartbreak, hope and humour in this very realistic depiction of the pains and pleasures of being a teenage male.
