All but one of the heroes previously starred in a popular book from Rick Riordan Presents. You''ll be reunited with Aru Shah, Zane Obispo, Min the fox spirit, Sal and Gabi, Tristan Strong, Nizhoni Begay, Paola Santiago, Sikander Aziz, and Riley Oh. Who is the new hero? Read Rick Riordan''s short story to find out!

Ten bestselling and award-winning middle grade authors contributed to this collection: Roshani Chokshi, J.C. Cervantes, Yoon Ha Lee, Carlos Hernandez, Kwame Mbalia, Rebecca Roanhorse, Tehlor Kay Mejia, Sarwat Chadda, Graci Kim, and Rick Riordan, who also served as the editor.

The cultures represented by these own-voices stories are: Indian, Mesoamerican, Korean, Cuban, Black American, African, Navajo, Mexican, Mesopotamian, and Celtic.

There’s something for everyone in this collection of fast-paced and funny adventure stories that show what it takes to be a hero in any time, setting, and universe.



My Rating: 4
My recommendation: 9.5
(I received this book free in exchange for my honest review)

This was a nice cute read full of adventure, mystery, action, monsters, heroes, and good feels. A book like this is perfect of you’re looking for a something that has many different stories to keep you busy, say on a trip or if you’re looking for something to read together with the kids. 

I didn’t like all the stories, but I did at the sometime. That might have to do with going into these stories that are already in progress. As they are taken from already published works. It was interesting going into each, as it was like getting a peek into different worlds. 

Overall this book was light and fun. It introduced me to new stories that I need to learn about. I will also be placing this book and my list for my niece. She’s only 2 but, you can never start too early when finding future books for your little ones. 

To end this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.  

 Happy Reading
