1: Meet the Heroes

Welcome to Traverse City, Michigan, population 18,000. The city has everything you might expect: malls, movie theaters, schools, and playgrounds. Kids swim here in the summer and build snowmen during the winter. Sometimes they pretend that they live in an ordinary place.

But Traverse City is far from ordinary. It is set on one of the Great Lakes and attracts tourists in every season. Thousands of people visit every year.

Still, few of them know the city’s real secret. Even fewer talk about it. You see, Traverse City is home to three gifted superheroes. This story is about them.

Meet Abigail, the oldest of our heroes by a whole eight minutes. When it comes to sports, she can’t be beat—not at golf, not at gymnastics, and certainly not at goaltending. In fact, she’s so accustomed to winning that she has become an expert at playing We Are the Champions on her guitar.

Andrew comes next. He’s Abigail’s twin brother, younger by a measly eight minutes. If it has wheels, Andrew can ride it. He’s glorious, graceful, and great on wheels. He can even keep a groove while zooming downhill on his family’s grand piano.

Last but definitely not least is Baby Zoë. She’s proof that big things can come in small packages. She still wears a diaper, but she can flatten the strongest drum set without even trying. Zoë puts the grrr in girl.

Together these three heroes keep the streets and neighborhoods
