After an incident involving the boy's bathroom and a terribly sad book his teacher is forcing them to read, Hank is left with a week's suspension and a slightly charred hardcover--and, it turns out, the attention of new girl Maisie Huang. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaisie has been on the lookout for a kid with the meatballs to help her with a very important mission: Saving her neighbor's dog, Booler. Booler has seizures, and his owner, Mr. Jorgensen, keeps him tied to a tree all day and night because of them. It's enough to make Hank even sadder than that book does--he has autism, and he knows what it's like to be treated poorly because of something that makes you different. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut different is not less. And Hank is willing to get into even \u003ci\u003emore \u003c\/i\u003etrouble to prove it. Soon he and Maisie are lying, brown-nosing, baking, and cow milking all in the name of saving Booler--but not everything is as it seems. Booler might not be the only one who needs saving. And being a hero can look a lot like being a friend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781534445260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e506149 \/ We Could Be Heroes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Margaret Finnegan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38350662467765,"sku":"9781534445260","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_281067bc-989a-4d90-973b-0fe24a4fa33e.jpg?v=1611645712","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/we-could-be-heroes-9781534445260","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
