Richard Peck has won almost every children’s fiction award, including the Margaret A. Highly recommended for older elementary school through middle school (and beyond!). What a joy for young people to read this book. I loved Archer from page one, and his brave family too. The book is pitch perfect, full of love and humor, and an absolute delight to read. Peck is an award-winning children’s author who has a firm grasp on the young mind. Archer is a lucky little boy who finds that in the end, we have room in our hearts for as many heroes as we meet. What an inspiring story about helping those you care about, even in very adult situations of love and marriage!

He has to learn to deal with the death of a hero and his own hand in the relationship of two of his favorite people.
