About the book

Sela has been best friends with Emily and Zach as long as she can remember. Losing her dog is the most traumatic thing Sela has ever dealt with and her first real test of faith. Then Emily’s mother dies. The friendship is tested when Emily decides she no longer needs God or friends who do.

In a moment of frustration, Sela petitions her Guardian Angel to help her by intervening on Emily’s behalf. The petition is heard and God grants a redirection. He sends Victorious and Glorious to Roosevelt Middle School and gives them permission to interact with no one’s knowledge that they are angels. Victor and Gloria Way, the new twins, weave their way into the lives and activities of the students. They provide subtle and not so subtle fun and enlightenment. They make it clear to Mara, Sela’s former friend turned bully and her group that they will make their own choices in friends. They encourage the students to embrace their differences and learn to work out the small things.

One of the reviews for the book

Michael Graves 5.0 out of 5 stars The challenges young people face.  Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019

Heroes by Design is a tender story of middle school teens leaning on their faith and each other to withstand peer pressures and to stand up to life’s tests. When one friend suffers a grievous loss, the others reach out for heavenly guidance to provide strength during the difficult time. Young adults will find comfort and assurance in Deb Irsik’s story, and older adults will gain compassion and insight into the challenges young people face.
