The Problem with Being Slightly Heroic by Uma Krishnaswami

4.0

I didn't realize this was the second book, but it was still a fun read. It's definitely targeted to a pre-teen demographic, but it was cute. The only jarring note (for me) was that the author chose to write in the present simple instead of the more commonly-utilized past tense. But it was charming, and some places, surprisingly profound. My favorite quote is on page 13:

"But real life, alas, like a badly executed dance, often has pacing problems."

Isn't that the truth?
