(3) 4-6 English boy Leo is fascinated with gladiators and yearns to be a real hero himself. So when he gets into trouble, Leo compounds his guilt by letting people believe he was actually saving a little dog named Jack Pepper. Realistic details, a cute pup, and a strong theme of what it means to be a hero will attract middle graders.
