You Too Can Be A Hero Novels & Stories

Mom is one of the most famous reporters in the country. She exposes all kinds of wrongdoing, and the public hails her as a champion of justice. What she doesn't know is that while she's out fighting for other people, I'm being viciously bullied at school.

You've suffered more than enough and you don't need any more punishment. Everything you do from here, every way you try to help, is not to pay for your mistake.

(Yes, still thinking about your pancakes.) Heroes aren’t perfect. They’re stubborn. That’s you.

Sharon Hiding. Behind a computer.” “No. Not hiding. Sacrificing. You’re not a coward. I know that you know you’re facing this head-on. You don’t want justice for them; you want it for all the victims in the world and the many people out there who have been wronged and forced into a life they didn’t choose. You’re not just doing it for granny or yourself. You’re doing it for them. For the people that you don’t even know. That’s heroic. I think the brain, they say, is most impressionable before age twenty-two, so if you were going to go bad, then you’d have gone bad already. You chose the other path. It’s a harder path. The hardest.

"You helped me when I was sick. That makes you a hero." "I was just doing my job, sweetheart." "Nuh-uh. Dad says lots of doctors tried to help me, but you were the only one who actually figured it out. And you used magic even though it was dangerous and made you sick. That's what heroes do—they help people even when it's scary." I looked at Rivera, who was studying his coffee with intense focus, his ears slightly pink.
