"A Junior Library Guild Selection A Kirkus Best Book of the Year ""With its clear, accessible writing, this suspenseful story masterfully juggles many topics: grief; self-assurance; the need for individual, collective, and systemic approaches to ableism, poverty, and other social ills; and the fine line between ""extreme altruism"" and self-aggrandizement. Morally complex and extremely fun."" --Kirkus Reviews, starred review ""Not All Heroes promotes the insight that we all have the superpower to help people in need, even if only in small ways."" --Booklist ""A rivalry with another RLSH league add a lively element, but the story stays grounded in day-to-day life, encouraging readers to think critically about what allyship means and how to avoid centering oneself."" --Horn Book"
