Nominated for Manitoba Young Readers' Choice Award 1994 Canadian Children's Book Centre "Best Choice!" Review - Canada Schoolnet "In Looking for a Hero, David Boyd presents us with Nicholas, a character burdened with a deep secret that is gradually revealed through the efforts of the physician assigned to his case. Through a series of interview transcripts, reports and letters, we learn that Nicholas has been referred for psychiatric assessment following a terrible act. The author skillfully leads the reader through a series of twists and turns, to confront a scenario that is as tragic as it is thought-provoking. Although the crime is dreadful, we come to a fuller understanding of the motivation, as well as a fuller realization of what it is to be, or to have, a hero. Looking for a Hero is a contemporary novel that kept this reviewer hooked right to the end.
