Product Description
A Hero In Disguise? "Heroes Don’t Always Wear Capes" is the story of school girl Vandra Zandinski, who discovers the most memorable lessons learned in the classroom might not have anything to do with school at all. As an underdog in life, one of Vandra’s few shining moments comes when she gets applause from classmates after earning the highest score for her state report. The trouble is, Vandra didn’t write it, and when her teacher Miss Ryan finds out, Vandra realizes what true compassion is. Each year is filled with surprises as Vandra experiences all grade levels in this coming of age story. One teacher appoints her class secretary for her organizational skills, another assigns her editor-in-chief of the school newspaper for her budding writing ability, but her math teacher has scared her to death. When a bully comes along, unexpected help is received from Mr. Bailey, the Vice Principal, who isn’t so useless after all. From crabby teachers to the trauma of a burned prom dress—who knew you couldn’t iron Tulle?––Heroes Don’t Always Wear Capes is a tale that unfolds the secrets of life chapter by chapter. As Vandra comes to learn, there are teachers, and then there are those who leave an impression on your life through unforgettable lessons, the extraordinary teachers—the heroes.
