Hiii-ya! (the sound an adventurer makes when kicking a bad guy in the head)

Let’s talk about some Adventures! Here’s a list of accidental heroes. I chose this list over all the others (and there are so many more, just come in to the library to find more on the Reader’s Wall) because of all the different heroes to be, I think I would most likely be an accidental hero. Like, I have no prior hero training, but if something were to come up requiring heroness, and the responsibility just fell to me, I picture myself an awesome hero that can do fierce kicks to the bad guys’ heads, and climb buildings with rope. So any book that describes heroes like that are books I want to check out. Here are a few, respectfully taken from Novelist.
