You don’t need super powers to be a hero…or to make enemies into friends.

In Hero’s gang, everyone has a special skill. Well, everybody but Pip. Pip isn’t strong, he can’t run fast or make himself invisible. He might not have any amazing talents, but when bully Solo invades their spot, Pip shows the gang that you just need guts to be a hero.

Reviews

Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)

“This story is a must-read for educators to use in talking with kids about how jealousy can lead to poor behavior but making friends or joining a group can help alleviate feelings of loneliness. A good selection for a preschool or elementary classroom or library. Reviewer Rating: 4” —Children’s Literature

Kirkus Reviews

“A fun underdog story for readers intrepid enough to join this merry band of kids.”—Kirkus Reviews
