I Never Wanted to be Famous

I think this book is great! I read it for a book project on any book! It is about a boy who never really wanted to be famous or popular, but his mom does. He ends up saving a baby and then he saves people and animals more and more. He is a hero in Four Corners and now it is starting to spread around. Now he gets all the attention and he hates it. I think it is for all ages. Every time you see the book you will want to read it over and over. This book is one of my favorites!
