What makes a hero?

Typical heroes have a magical superpower and save the world from an evil mastermind, or don't they?

Considering middle-grade fiction, largely omitting any supernatural abilities, what makes a hero a hero? What role models (children, not adults) should there be? What is a heroic deed?

In my middle-grade novel FIREFLIES I tried to find an answer to that question, which I've been asking myself for quite some time now. Fireflies by Bree Wolf

But what do you think?
