The Hero's Trail: A Guide for a Heroic Life

(4) 4-6 Employing a belabored hiking metaphor, Barron illustrates his philosophy of heroism by citing various young heroes from real life and myth. Some are predictable (Anne Frank, Helen Keller), but some are ordinary kids who faced physical challenges, saved someone's life, or collected money for those less fortunate. Despite occasionally cloying prose, the volume may serve to inspire some readers. Bib., ind.
