Overview

"'Not All Heroes' is about weakness, strength, the courage to forgive, and family. The novel explores what it means to be a hero and studies the extensive shades of gray in morality. This young adult science-fantasy novel pits brother against sister when the latter decides to use her abilities to strike back against those that try to suppress what makes them special. Many of the characters in this novel struggle with various mental illnesses, but they find the strength within themselves to not only overcome these illnesses, but also to protect innocents. Over the course of the novel, it becomes clear that the heroes are not weakened by their mental illnesses, but rather that what they used to view as flaws force them to demonstrate extraordinary strength and bravery." -- Abstract
