<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Moving halfway across the country did not help eleven-year-old Zinnia deal with her little brother's death, but joining her neighbors and aunt as a Real Life Super Hero does that and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Even though her family moved across the country for a "fresh start" after her little brother's death, eleven-year-old Zinnia Helinski still feels like she's stuck waiting for her new life to begin. Then she spots her new neighbor, Kris, climbing down the fire escape of their apartment building. He's wearing a black eye mask! And Spandex leggings. . . . And a blue body suit? <p/>Soon Zinnia finds herself in a secret club for kids who want to be heroes. The Reality Shifters don't have superpowers, but they <i>do</i> have the power to make positive change in their neighborhoods. And a change is just what Zinnia is looking for! <p/>At first, she feels invincible. Zinnia finally has friends and is on the kind of real-life adventures her little brother, Wally, would have loved. But when her teammates lose sight of their goals, Zinnia must find the balance between bravery and recklessness, and learn to be a hero without her cape.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>A Junior Library Guild Selection </b> <p/>With its clear, accessible writing, this suspenseful story masterfully juggles many topics: grief; self-assurance; the need for individual, collective, and systemic approaches to ableism, poverty, and other social ills; and the fine line between "extreme altruism" and self-aggrandizement. Morally complex and extremely fun. --<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i><b>starred review</b> <p/><i>Not All Heroes </i>promotes the insight that we all have the superpower to help people in need, even if only in small ways. --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>A rivalry with another RLSH league add a lively element, but the story stays grounded in day-to-day life, encouraging readers to think critically about what allyship means and how to avoid centering oneself. --<i>Horn Book</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Josephine Cameron</b> received her MFA in creative writing from the University of Notre Dame. She is the author of <i>Maybe a Mermaid </i>and <i>A Dog-Friendly Town. </i>She lives in Brunswick, Maine, where she writes, sings, and teaches music to kids.
