Chronicle Supposing Books The Accidental Hero (Jack Blank Adventure #1)
All Jack Blank knows is his bleak, dreary life at St. Barnaby’s Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost, an orphanage that sinks further into the swampland of New Jersey with each passing year. His aptitude tests predict that he will spend a long, unhappy career as a toilet brush cleaner. His only chance at escape comes through the comic books donated years ago to the orphanage that he secretly reads in the dark corners of the library.Everything changes one icy gray morning when Jack receives two visitors that alter his life forever. The first is a deadly robot straight out of one of his comic books that tries its best to blow him up. The second is an emissary from a secret country called the Imagine Nation, an astonishing place where all the fantastic and unbelievable things in our world originate — including Jack. Jack soon discovers that he has an amazing ability — one that could make him the savior of the Imagine Nation and the world beyond, or the biggest threat they've ever faced.

12-year-old Jack Blank doesnt know who he is, where he came from or who his parents are. He does know that hes a VERY bored orphan at St. Barnabys Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost (a pretty depressing place). Finally something exciting (but pretty frightening) happens in Jacks life: He gets attacked by an evil Robo-Zombie and has to find a way to destroy it!

Typical mid grade fantasy novel about a boy who knows nothing about who he really is, then with discovery is whisked off to another world.Cute and occasionally funny, I will give props for the twist ending. Besides that nothing really sets this book apart from the hoards of novels in this genre with similar plots like this.
I still love this book so much, but I will admit that this is the lesser book of the series. There's a lot of action but it's pretty compacted to the end of the book, and the majority of this one is made up of set up. Though entertaining, enjoyable set up. The amount of foreshadowing is pretty amazing... And some of the lines that u know the eventuality of are just CHILLING.
I loved this book because it is action packed and it has a true moral/meaning to it which I rarely see in books now.
"...the future is not written. It lies in the choices you make. Our future is ours to decide. Always." Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation or also known as The Accidental Hero, is a heartwarming and inspiring tale of courage, faith, believing in yourself and many more. This MG book really surprised me.Wow! I was so inspired by all the encouraging and motivational ideas and messages. It challenges you to stretch your imagination and dream big. You carve out your own future. Who you are now doesn't
This was a nice traditional science-fantasy middle grade novel - young orphaned boy who can't seem to fit in, discovers he's got superpowers and gets swept away into a fantastical world in which some of his favorite comic characters turn out to be real - with a nice twist in the end that's definitely got me wanting to read its sequel. Despite the traditional tropes common in most fantasy, coming of age novels, I think this book would make a wonderful read for younger readers not quite as jaded
