Favorite RJ Sidekick? - webby - 09-16-2006
Repairman Jack has had a few sidekicks in both novels and short stories, although the role usually means a pretty short life expectancy.
The question is - who's your favorite? Sandy Palmer in Hosts...Jamie Grant in Crisscross...Jack's dad in Gateways...or someone else?
I almost wanted to choose Loretta from Interlude at Duane's, but my real favorite was Jack's dad, Tom. He was brave, helpful and didn't waste a lot of time disbelieving what he saw with his own eyes. Besides, he seemed like a really good guy. Similar to Jack in ways that matter most, which isn't so suprising. So that's my vote - Jack's dad.
Who is yours?

I wouldn't exactly call Sandy Palmer a side-kick, he was more like a parasite.
But yeah, I really liked Jack's dad.

I've got to agree about Jack's dad. Makes you wish he would have told his dad from the begining.

Well, of course everybody likes Jack's father. So besides him, I like Kenton Brothers in "The Haunted Air". They were very unique characters. Especially Charlie was.

The Kenton brothers were neat, if you can consider them sidekicks. I was also a fan of Zaleski and Kenway in Conspiracies.

Yes, they are sidekicks. They worked in basement with Jack for search for Tara Portman. Lyle and Jack fought Eli Belitto & Dmitri. And they know Otherness's existence. I hope to their return to next RJ novels.

Okay, I guess they're sidekicks. You win.

Jack's dad. No contest. In fact, I really hope we get to see lots of him in the YA novels (hint, hint).
I also liked the Kenton brothers in The Haunted Air.

Ditto on both of these. Love the Ashe brothers too - although not sure if they qualify as side-kicks.

My favorite side character is Abe, but is too cool to be a sidekick though
