Gideon lives in a a nice house, with nice parents, and nice toys ... that should be enough for anyone, right? But Gideon wants to be a hero ..

How to Be a Hero is wry exploration of fairy tales and the nature of heroism that leaves the moral in the hands of the reader. It encourages conversation about the nature of heroism, what we take away from the stories we hear and read, and the value of celebrity, all while encouraging a more subtle form of heroism: choosing for yourself how you see the world and your place in it.
