Heroes by a Hair

Reach for this book when your home feels less like a house and more like a high stakes obstacle course fueled by sibling rivalry and wild imagination. It is the perfect choice for the child who sees every mundane chore as a mission and every authority figure as a potential supervillain to be outsmarted. Link and Hud are brothers with very different personalities who must unite to face their greatest challenge: the world's strictest babysitter. Through a blend of prose and graphic novel sequences, the story explores themes of creative problem solving, the necessity of teamwork, and the messy but unbreakable bond between brothers. It is a high energy, humorous read for the elementary school set that validates the 'big feelings' and bigger ideas of active kids while grounding them in the importance of looking out for one another.
