(4) 4-6 Working on a school history project, Jerry writes a report about his cousin, who became a local legend when he rescued a girl trapped on a cliff. However, Jerry's research reveals that Charles was not responsible for saving the girl; the real hero was actually the uncle of Jerry's troubled new classmate, Danny. With its intriguing premise, the story manages to rise above its plodding pace and bland characterizations.
