The New York Times bestselling series is now available in a boxed set of four.
The New York Times bestselling series is now available in a box set!
What makes a hero? Brad Meltzer and illustrator Christopher Eliopoulos answer that question, one great role model at a time. And now you can buy the first four—Abraham Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, and Albert Einstein—together in a wonderfully designed slipcase.
This is not just a series of books, says bestselling author Brad Meltzer. This is my dream for my daughter. My dream for my sons. These aren't just the stories of famous people. They're what we're all capable of on our very best days. This is our history and, I hope, our greatest legacy.
