By the Book Chapter 21 - Up Scat Creek, by Lori Cole and Mishell Baker
3"Hawk is a sixteen year old boy with holes in his boots and a hand-me-down sword he can barely draw without falling over. He lives with his two brothers and younger sister in an isolated Alpine village. Hawk soon realizes that they all have no future in the village, so he leaves to seek a new life or himself and his family.
Armed with an inspirational manual, "How to Be a Hero," Hawk sets off for the town of Siegburg, where he plans to win fame and fortune as an adventurer. But he soon discovers that Siegburg is a hopeless mess. Meanwhile, he has his hands full keeping the rest of the family out of his hair... and out of trouble. Unfortunately, the path to heroism is much less glamorous than his dog-eared manual led him to expect."
