Every story in this book actually happened.
No made-up heroes with made-up powers. Twenty real boys and men with real bodies, real fear, and real bad days. Several of them cried. Two nearly gave up completely, and wrote it down at the time, so we know for certain.
You won't find anybody in here who was simply born amazing.
Inside this book:

• Perseverance Beethoven, Terry Fox, Stephen Hawking, and the man who planted a forest alone, every day, for forty years
• After every story: What Made Him Amazing, Think About It, Try This, and Did You Know? two minutes that turn a story into a conversation

Each of them had an ordinary moment, decided something was going to be different, and then got up the next morning and did the boring part. The boring part is where nearly everybody stops.
