Tyler Evans the Great, by Alison Lohans

All Tyler Evans wants is to be a hero. For himself and for his family. For his friends too – or even just his dog, Gretzky. But becoming a hero isn’t easy. Heroes don’t get nosebleeds at school, or lose a shoe when they kick a ball. They especially don’t let a class bully steal their lunch…
Maybe a magic potion will help?

Told from Tyler’s endearing child’s point of view, this easy-to-read, humorous early-reader chapter book explores how Tyler gains a sense of self-worth by carrying out small heroic acts while coping with a school bully and his brother’s teasing in his single-parent household. Tyler has to do some quick and innovative thinking to manage it all. Good thing he has his dog Gretzky and a new pet…caterpillar?
