Leon: Worst Friends Forever: A Graphic Novel (Leon #2)

Description:

Leon struggles with a super ego -- and a super secret! -- in the second graphic novel in Jamar Nicholas's action-packed, heartfelt, and joyously funny series.

After saving his classmates from The Monocle, and now that he has access to tons of cool crime-fighting gadgets, Leon is the superhero his school needs. Or at least... he thinks he is. Leon's vigil-antics make Mom and Principal Principle angry, but even worse, they cause a conflict with his best friend, Carlos, who starts to draw mean comics about Leon. Meanwhile, Leon struggles to keep his mom's superhero identity a secret.

Can Leon dig deep and rediscover his heart and common sense? Or will his bad behavior reach a point of no return?

Review

A Junior Library Guild Selection

"This action-packed graphic novel is inclusive, relatable, and heartwarming... Both protagonists experience personal growth and discover strategies to become their best selves. The illustrations vividly capture the adventures and tone of each scene." -- School Library Journal

"An appealing blend of action and personal growth that will set readers up to anticipate the next series entry." -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Leon the Extraordinary:

"Leon is a superhero whose powers are kindness and common sense. It's a really good book about a really good kid!" -- Jerry Craft, author and illustrator of New Kid

"A heartfelt and hilarious hero's journey. LEON is super!" -- Lincoln Peirce, author and illustrator of Big Nate

★ "Nicholas's innovative tale, brimming with fully fleshed out characters and bombastic battle sequences, is one to revisit again and again." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This is a silly and fun-filled story with a heartwarming throughline about not needing special abilities to have an impact on one's community... A solid, action-filled comedy with a crucial message." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Jamar Nicholas delivers an engaging story about finding your own power... an uplifting read." -- Book Riot

"It's a refreshing change of pace to have a kid hero who's Black at the center of the story. Supersize panels with bold coloring truly make the stylized character designs pop and the action sequences come to life with plenty of classic superhero action. The various body types and skin tones represented in the artwork underscore the narrative that anyone can be a hero." -- Booklist

"Nicholas crafts a heartfelt story highlighting the power of doing the right thing and the strength of mothers... The range of diverse characters and relatable situations, such as bullying, jealousy, and personal growth, will provide readers with recognizable characters and feelings... Belonging on library shelves, this book will leave readers wanting more from Leon and his crew." -- School Library Journal

"Hand this to your graphic novel loving readers who need to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, or who just want a fun, well-written, well-drawn superheroes vs. villains story. The text also celebrates a young Black main character, the love of a mother, the strength of community, and the friends surrounding Leon every day." -- School Library Connection

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Follow up to Leon the Extraordinary!

G. · October 14, 2024

Much like the first book, Worst Friends Forever is a lot of fun, and suitable for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Continuation Of The Series

N.F. · February 23, 2025

My son (13 years old) loved the first installment of Leon and the bar was set high for this one. As soon as it came in the mail when it was first released, he grabbed it up and read it and re-read it and I *still* see him walking around with it. You will need to read the first one to fully appreciate the second but the series is worth it and 100% Kid Approved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leon’s superpower is common sense, but even he loses that sometimes.

E.G. · February 1, 2025

This is a super fun graphic novel for kids that delves into deeper subjects like Internet fame, and Fights between friends. Colorful, art and witty banter make this a quick read (even at 200+ pages!), but you walk away ready for more. Kids Who enjoy marvel, superhero shows, and dog man will be ready to ramp up to Leon and his friends— and enemies!
