Reviews
Rottman makes a promising debut with this YA novel about an abused teenager who gradually comes to trust another human being.... The book concludes credibly-there are no easy answers. Sean has discovered the heroism in everyday acts of courage-and his message is a powerful one for adolescents., "Hero had me laughing out loud on page three and nearly crying several times thereafter. Hero will have broad YA appeal because it cuts to the heart of issues about self-esteem, relationships, responsibility, and heroes. A heart-wrenching tale. Buy it." -- VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) "Rottman makes a promising debut with this YA novel about an abused teenager who gradually comes to trust another human being....

Synopsis
What does it mean to be a hero? Heroes are hard to find, especially for Sean, who, at fifteen years old, has never had it easy. He's estranged from his father and abused by his mother--Sean feels he has nowhere to turn. Suspended from school and with a mounting police record, he is one step away from serious trouble. Sentenced to community service for violating curfew, Sean is sent to Mr. Hassler's farm, where he's forced to confront his fears and take charge of his own life. When Sean is faced with a dangerous situation that tests his true character, he learns just what it means to be a hero. In an age where it seems that few heroes exist, S. L. Rottman has written a compelling and realistic portrayal of the conflicts that drive a young man toward his destiny., Heroes are hard to find, especially for Sean, who, at fifteen years old, has never had it easy.

- -***e (1457)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI was so excited to get this new (to me) book on Indian jewelry. Imagine my delight to find out that the author had done much of her research at the Northern Arizona Museum, in Flagstaff, Arizona. We frequently go to Flagstaff, and never miss a trip to this fabulous museum. They have one of the best gift shops for authentic Native crafts, and the museum itself isn't to be missed. Haven't had a chance to delve into this beautiful book yet, but can hardly wait.
