Isaiah Dunn Is My Hero by Kelly J. Baptist

Ten year old Isaiah Dunn loves words, writing poetry (but don't tell) and hanging out with his best friend, Sneaky. Isaiah's favorite stories are those written by his father about a super hero named Isaiah Dunn. Isaiah's, and little sister Charlie's, world shifted suddenly four months ago when their dad died of a heart attack and their mom subsequently fell apart. Though grief and homelessness are present, so are resilience, love and good adults in this wonderful coming-of-age novel for the middle reader.
