About the Book
Cat Ninja can protect Metro City—or spend time with the boy who needs him most—but lately he cannot seem to do both. As Octopunch gets the glory and Claude’s nonstop hero duties leave Leon feeling forgotten, Cat Ninja considers retiring for good. Then a pet-control villain begins kidnapping every animal in the city, forcing Claude to discover what truly lies at the heart of a hero.
It’s nonstop crime time in Metro City, and the hero the city needs is… Octopunch? Even an eight-armed avenger can’t keep the streets safe by himself, though, so Cat Ninja’s spending all his time catching crooks—and no time curled up with his family. When he realizes that Leon needs him more than Metro City does, it might be time to hang up the nunchucks. But with a brand-new baddie kidnapping every pest and pet in town, can our hero really afford to cat nap?
Featuring Octopunch, King Crab, Master Hamster, Combat Wombat, Mecha-Mecano, the Howliday Inn, controlled animal armies, pet rescues, family comedy, and ten fast-moving chapters, The Heart of a Hero is a full-color graphic novel about responsibility, adoption, emotional honesty, and fighting for your loved ones.
Suit up with Cat Ninja for the adventure that proves the strongest heroes fight for their city—and make time for the people waiting at home.
