Review: Do you love historical fiction books?If you do you should read A Different Kind of Hero.The book is about is about a boy named Zi who comes to a mining camp in Colorado.People at his school are treating him in a bad way. For instance,a boy named Finn beat up Zi on his first day of school.The main character Renny was nice enough to share his seat with him and walk him home so he wouldn't get hurt again.Will Renny be kicked out of town or will he become the town's hero? You're going to have to read the book to find out.
I liked the book because it shows friendship between Zi and Renny.I also liked the book because I love learning about the old days.Since the book was so good I'm going to read it again.
I think the author Ann was trying to tell us don't judge a book by its cover.In other words,don't judge a person by their looks.People in the camp were judging Zi and his family by their looks.
