To me, the most memorable literary hero is Jared, from the Spiderwick Chronicles. Jared likes adventure and has a great imagination when he and his twin, Simon and their older sister Valarie movie with their mom into their great aunt Lucinda's house, he finds a book in the attic what is sealed and signed with a letter warning the reader that there are terrible consequences to face if the book is opened. Jared has a knack for going against rules and going on adventures, so he opens the seal of the book regardless of the warning. Once he opens the book, its secretes are revealed. Once the book is open, creatures such as goblins, which cannot be seen through the naked eye are aware that the book is opened and come out of hiding. They are told by their horrible leader to get the book which holds all the secrets to the unknown world. The goblins are told to get the book from Jared, but when they bring him to their leader, it turns out that they have captured Jared's twin brother, Simon. It is Jared's job to rescue his twin. Simon tells the goblins' evil leader that he knows where the book is, so he is released to get it and bring it back to him. There is a circle around the house that none of the creatures from the unknown world can pass. But the circle will be broken after the full moon. Jared brings Simon home and convinces their sister that there is a real world outside the circle, and it is his job to protect his family.
I believe that Jared is the most memorable literary hero because he risks his life to protect his family with who he does not want to live with. He is constantly fighting with his sister, he is always mad at his mother who made them move into the new house, and is always upset with his twin because he never sides with him when he gets into fights with their sister. He even finds out that their father has started a new family without telling him. Jared says he hates his mother, but when the full moon ends, the protective circle around the house is broken and Jared risks his life to save his brother, sister, and mother from the trolls, goblins and their evil leader. He does everything he can to protect his family by using the information inside the book. The book that he was not supposed to open.
