Review
"Daniel Hernandez is a shining example of civic duty and resilience in the face of hardship. His story will inspire young people everywhere and remind us all that there are true heroes among us."--Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief, Huffington Post Media Group
"Daniel's now-famous bravery is matched only by his remarkable sense of duty and deep respect for public service. His story should be required reading for young people wondering if and when they can make an impact on the world. The answers are 'yes' and 'right now.'"--Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO, Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Institute
"Daniel Hernandez is a true American hero. I have had the pleasure of meeting him, and it reminded me why I love this country: Only in America can a young boy whose mother was an immigrant land an internship with his Congresswoman and in the most terrifying moment of his life run towards the bullets to save her life. He handled his newfound fame with grace and dignity and continues to inspire people across the country."--Piers Morgan, host of CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight
"Daniel Hernandez did not become an extraordinary man on that horrible day in Tucson; that's just when the world learned of him."--Shepard Smith, anchor of The Fox Report on FOX News Channel
"I met Daniel Hernandez and came away feeling invigorated about America 's future. We all watched Daniel in an incredible moment of heroism. Now, he's made a life of service and whether he stays in local politics or hits the national stage, he will inspire America for a long time."--Erin Burnett, anchor of CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront
"This account...hits all the right notes. Throughout, [Daniel Hernandez] comes across as self-assured but not full of himself, conscious of but not obsessed with his image and his status as a multiple role model, opinionated but not angry or preachy. An absorbing eyewitness view of a shocking event wrapped in a fluent, engaging self-portrait."--Kirkus Reviews
"The heroic young man's story will be appreciated by politically minded youths as well as those looking for a role model."--School Library Journal
"[This] tense, moment-by-moment recounting of the shooting spree is gripping...Throughout, Hernandez strikes a tone that is humble, earnest, and impassioned, and his story is inspiring not only for his bravery during the shooting, but also for his commitment to education advocacy and public service."--Publishers Weekly

Store description
I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
