In \u003cem\u003eThe 23rd Hero\u003c\/em\u003e, an ordinary woman with an extraordinary memory travels back in time to 16th-century France to stop climate change before it starts and return to the man she loves.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a world ravaged by climate change, a mysterious time travel agency known as the Program sends carefully selected Heroes back in time on missions to prevent environmental damage before it happens. Sloane Burrows secretly longs to be a Hero and restore the natural world of her childhood-a world she can envision with absolute clarity because of her superpower memory. But her father raised Sloane to believe her \"freak memory\" is a shameful flaw that should be hidden from the world. Sloane stuffs her dream of being a Hero and conceals her memory to the point of making herself sick. Her only respite from the shame is the recurring dream she's been having for nearly a decade. In it, a breathtakingly beautiful man makes her feel accepted in a way she never has in waking life-not despite her memory, but because of it. But when the man in the dream shows up in real life, Sloane's world is turned upside down. Not only is Bastian a flesh-and-blood person, but he's from the Program, and he wants her to do the one thing that will shatter her chances of winning her dad's love: become a Hero, travel back in time to sixteenth-century France, and use her superpower memory to save the world. \"A page-turning, wild and marvelous ride.\" - Susan Choi, Pulitzer Prize finalist and National Book Award Winner for Trust Exercise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12422368\"\u003eRebecca Anne Nguyen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Castle Bridge Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798989593415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC027130\"\u003eRomance | Science Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC028080\"\u003eTime Travel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC077000\"\u003eNature \u0026amp; the Environment\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castle Bridge Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48456022982893,"sku":"9798989593415","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_ba58b02b-fcb2-4386-bab9-1a9320aaf058.jpg?v=1753544240","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-23rd-hero-9798989593415","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
