The bus/highway scene in the book Hero by Perry Moore. Several characters, each with their own agenda, yet nothing feels rushed & is shockingly easy to follow what everyone is doing. I re-read that chapter immediately.</p> There is one superheroic action scene that is hard to forget & is written perfectly. The bus/highway scene in the book Hero by Perry Moore.
