Bookroo's summary
Twelve-year-old Henrie, the first girl heir in 200 years, stumbles upon a mystery that could unravel her family's hero-for-hire business. A cryptic note leads to a kidnapping, daring escapes, and a shocking revelation. As the House of Melchior teeters on the brink of collapse, Henrie must rise to the challenge and redefine what it means to be a hero. Can she save her family's legacy and forge a new path in a world dominated by boy heroes?
From the publisher
Twelve-year-old Henrie is the first girl heir of the Melchior family in 200 years. For the House of Melchior (HoMe), in the business of heroes for hire - boy heroes, that is - this is terrible news … When Henrie receives a mysterious note, it sets off a chain of events including a kidnapping, a fancy skateboard maneuver, a private jet–and the discovery of something rotten at the heart of HoMe. As past, present and future collide, HoMe is poised to come tumbling down … unless a new kind of hero can emerge from the rubble.
