One teen must fight the system, his demons, and the shadows of his past to bring hope to a broken world.
Heroic is a pulse-pounding YA novel about a young Black superhero who must navigate a world where heroism is outlawed. Blending high-stakes action, emotional depth, and a hip-hop-inspired narrative, Heroic challenges readers to see the hero within themselves
Meet Avery Write: Author, Rapper, and Storyteller
Avery Write is an author, rapper, and visionary storyteller whose work combines music and literature to inspire courage, resilience, and self-discovery. Avery’s debut novel, Heroic, tells the story of Revenant, a young superhero navigating dragons, demons, and depression—a metaphor for the inner battles many of us face.
Through the HEROIC project, Avery’s mission is to empower young readers with stories of hope and representation. For every book purchased, a copy is donated to a classroom in need, inspiring young minds everywhere.
Our goal is to provide 10 class sets of HEROIC to underfunded schools to inspire young readers. Every 30 books sold equals one full class set donated to a school in need
Heroic speaks on hope, despair, and the lengths people will go to protect others and stand up to those who abuse their power. It pulls no punches about the harshness of its world. It raises serious questions like whether a hero should kill villains, especially if they have killed or tormented others, or if that goes against the idea of being a hero. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys heroic fantasy stories, action-packed adventures, or characters who serve as beams of light in a dark world.
Are you an educator seeking a book that fully engages young readers, while simultaneously teaching the grade-level standards? This is THAT book. I currently teach 6th Grade GATE, and I was looking for a high-interest book for my students that challenged their perspectives and encouraged rigorous debate. They absolutely LOVED "Heroic"! The unique chapters led to discussions about plot, perspective, theme, dystopian societies, and more. I seriously had to tell kids NOT to read ahead!
