Using the metaphor of a hiking trail, bestselling author T. A. Barron discusses the great variety of heroes and brings them to life through their own stories: Some are well known, like Wilma Rudolph, Anne Frank, and Stephen Hawking. Yet most are "ordinary kids" who have made amazing choices: saved their siblings from a fire, struggled to stop prejudice at their school, helped raise money to build a well in an African village. This book will be invaluable to kids, parents, and educators who need role models for young people to look up to--and a new way to look at what a hero is.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "A rewarding, informative read, the book introduces and pays homage to heroes throughout time, literature, and life."<b> starred review</b><p> </p> -- <b>Booklist</b> <p/>The stories are well worth sharing. -- <b>School Library Journal</b> <p/>The simplicity of the message and wide range of examples combine to make compelling motivational reading. -- <b>Kirkus Reviews</b> <p/>Here is so much grace to regard closely, to hold tight in mind, heart, and soul. -- <b>from the preface by Robert Coles, M.
