Baxter Bean and the Secret of Hearth - Paperback

by A. M. Luzzader (Author)

Heroes are made through choices, not abilities.

Baxter Bean never wanted to be a hero. Back on Earth, he was just an awkward middle schooler who preferred hiding from bullies to standing up to them. But when a case of interdimensional mistaken identity lands him on the planet Nivmo, Baxter finds himself in a world where magical abilities called "hearth" determine your worth-and he has no powers at all.

In this thrilling second adventure, Baxter continues his journey alongside Ulani, a brave girl fighting for her people's freedom, and Royal, a prince who doesn't believe in himself. Together, they face their greatest challenge yet: a powerful tyrant who threatens to destroy everything they hold dear.

Baxter is still the same shy kid who'd rather avoid a fight, but when the people he's come to love need him most, he must make a choice: stay safe or step up. In a world where strength seems to come from abilities, Baxter will discover that true heroism isn't about the powers you're born with-it's about the courage you choose to show when it matters most.
