Got a superhero in your life? Then maybe you should enter this awesome contest hosted by Matthew Cody and Knopf Books for Young Readers. Details below:
Who would you like to see flying through the sky to save the day? In ways big and small we all have someone in our life that is a superhero. To young readers, you yourself may be a hero — a teacher who protects a group of students during a tornado, a librarian who helps you find the perfect book that to turn you a reader…
Have your students and readers tell us about their real-life hero in 500 words or less and they could win a SUPER cool prize: Matthew Cody, the author of Powerless, Super and Villainous will write the winner of this contest into a short story as a SUPER.
