The Hero Academy: The Hero's Expanding World
By Brandon Thomas Mysliwiec
In a world flooded with opinions, distractions, and overwhelming challenges, how does a young person stay grounded in truth, build lasting resilience, and become a guiding light for others?
The Hero's Expanding World is the next powerful installment in the Hero Academy series-a thoughtful and engaging guide for middle-grade readers learning to navigate the complex realities of growing up. Following the lives of Ventre, Treydence, and their classmates, this book blends storytelling with practical tools to help young readers develop emotional strength, discern truth from misinformation, bounce back from failure, and find their own voice.
Each chapter introduces real-world scenarios-rumors at school, online misinformation, public embarrassment, and personal disappointment-paired with unique Hero Tools like the Truth Filter, Wisdom Web, Phoenix Project, and Lessons Log. These tools are designed to equip readers with lasting habits of thoughtfulness, emotional intelligence, and integrity.
Perfect for families, classrooms, and youth programs, The Hero's Expanding World is more than a story-it's a hands-on manual for becoming the kind of hero the world needs: one who is grounded in values, open to growth, and courageous enough to lead with wisdom.
