"Few people think of themselves as heroes or feel like heroes. Few
believe that they have done anything heroic. Heroic acts always
feel like the amazing things that somebody else does. Yet
heroes-ordinary heroes, reluctant heroes-are all around us-in your
school, in your neighborhood, likely even in your own house." (from
the Introduction) prolific writer and storyteller Kendall Haven
serves up twenty-five true adventure five-minute-reads to tempt the
reading interest of boys and girls too. Each story is chosen for
its risk and danger quotient and the heroic qualities displayed by
the main character to appeal especially to the adventure seekers in
your library or classroom. Teachers and librarians will use these
stories as sponge activities to fill in those extra minutes when
waiting in line or when tasks are finished early. These stories
will also be valuable as attention getters in story times,
introductions to book talk sessions, and bridges to spark further
reading. Suggestions for further readings are included.
