Kids know all about comic book heroes, movie heroes and sports heroes. But few realize that regular kids -just like them - can be super heroes too. That's why editor Leslie Garrett has written SUPERKIDS. a collection of short stones and photos that recount the adventures of ordinary kids who have done extraordinary things. Written in a storytelling, action-packed style perfect for eight-to-twelve-year-olds, SUPERKIDS celebrates the accomplishments of children like five-year-old Julius Rosenberg, who saved his three-year-old sister and himself from a hungry black bear at the family cottage; like twelve-year-old Tiffiney Betts, who rescued her entire family from a house fire; like Canada's most famous superkid, thirteen-year-old Craig Keilburger who has attracted worldwide attention for his bold campaign against child labor. Who says kids can't make a difference? Entertaining and fast-paced, packed with stories about Canadian kids and their counterparts around the world, SUPERKIDS is a digest-size book that kids will devour and parents and teachers will love for its varied and interesting range of positive role models.
