Hero

Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or is struggling to live up to the high expectations of adults and peers. It is the perfect choice for a reader who feels 'different' from their family or community and needs to see that their unique traits are actually their greatest strengths. Through the lens of five dragonets destined to end a world-altering war, the story explores the heavy burden of destiny and the importance of choosing your own path. While the setting is high fantasy, the emotional core is deeply relatable to middle-grade children. It addresses themes of loyalty, the ethics of war, and the search for belonging. Because the protagonists are young dragons raised in isolation, their discovery of the world mirrors a child's own journey toward independence. It is an ideal series for building confidence in children who may feel overlooked or misunderstood in their daily lives.
