Behind The Hero Academy
Brandon Thomas Mysliwiec
Fictional family stories. Practical tools. Room to learn and try again.
Behind the books
A family at the heart of the Academy.
Inspired by his children and grounded in his faith, Brandon Thomas Mysliwiec combines fictional family stories with practical tools for learning, personal growth, and service.
Inspired by family
The Hero Academy draws inspiration from Brandon’s children. The stories follow young people as they encounter frustration, dreams, friendships, questions, and opportunities to help. They are fictional narratives, not a record of the children’s private lives.
Grounded in faith
Brandon’s faith shapes the series’ emphasis on divine worth, agency, kindness, integrity, and service. His books invite readers to ask thoughtful questions, develop their talents, and consider how ordinary choices can make a meaningful difference.
Built for conversation
The stories, homeschool companions, and free tools give families different ways to read, discuss, and practice together. Learners can revisit a tool as their experiences and responsibilities change.
