Heroes Don’t Always Wear Capes is the realistic fictional story of school girl, Vandra Zandinski, who discovers the most memorable lessons learned in the classroom might not have anything to do with school at all.
As an underdog in life, Vandra worries about fitting in, making a best friend, struggling to read, and pleasing teachers. Each year is filled with surprises as she experiences all grade levels in this coming of age story. From Vandra’s earliest haunting of her stint with the nuns in pre-school, to the compassion she receives from her 5th grade teacher when her secret is exposed about the state report she wrote, the reader discovers there is a little bit of Vandra in all of us.
Some of Vandra’s few shining moments come along when one teacher appoints her class secretary for her organizational skills, and another assigns her editor-in-chief of the school newspaper for her budding writing ability, but her math teacher has her scared to death. When a bully comes along in middle school, unexpected help is received from the Vice-Principal, who isn’t so useless afterall.
The story of this student captures crabby teachers, chaotic family dynamics, and spares no mercy with the trauma of a burned prom dress. Funny and engaging, Heroes Don’t Always Wear Capes is a tale that unfolds the secrets of life chapter by chapter. As Vandra comes to learn, there are teachers, and then there are those who leave an impression on your life through unforgettable lessons, the extraordinary teachers—the heroes.
