THE GRAND, GENIUS SUMMER OF HENRY HOOBLER

Lisa Shanahan

A joyful, heart-warming story featuring a highly relatable main character wrestling with his anxieties, and an endearing cast of family and friends.
It struck Henry that perhaps he was waiting for the exact right moment to be daring and brave. The exact right moment where he felt no worry at all, not one tiny flicker. But what if that moment never came? It’s the summer holidays and Henry Hoobler is worried about many things: camping in a tent, bugs, spiders, tsunamis, sharks... But the thing that’s worrying him most is learning how to ride his new silver bike, without training wheels, in front of his family and friends. Then Henry meets Cassie, who has the knack of making everything seem possible, and he discovers that courage is there to be found when you have a friend who is straight up and true.
