Hero of Lesser Causes
Hero of Lesser Causes is a deeply moving, award-winning contemporary young adult novel written by Canadian author Julie Johnston, published in 1992. Set in a small Canadian town during the mid-20th century, the book handles intense, heavy themes—such as sudden physical disability, polio epidemics, survivor's guilt, and the complex psychological bond between siblings—with a brilliant balance of humor, raw honesty, and emotional depth.
The novel was highly acclaimed upon its release, winning the prestigious Governor General's Award for English-language children's literature in 1992.
