Hero: The Boy From Troy

Grades 3-6

While stuck in detention, a student, Jayden, ends up with a book that takes him on an inspirational, entertaining, and musical journey. On his “walk” through the decades, he learns
of how a young John Lewis was moved to protest injustice and ultimately become a leader
and American hero. As Jayden relives John’s past, he experiences what it was like for John to
first meet Rosa Parks and Dr. King, and he eventually comes to realize that he too can take a stand, and help to influence the struggle for social, political, and overall equality and justice
among all people.
