    I like it because Petros was courageous enough to become a hero at the end. (Panayota))

    "When the universe conspires" by  Lina Sotiropoulou

    book summary focusing on the hero

    I liked this book very much mainly because I could feel what Daphne probably goes through with her family pushing her to excel at something, anything. I also liked it because I like dogs and Yuppie was funny and smart enough to be a good friend. I feel that the everyday hero is actually the dog, not the girl. (Eleni F.)
