Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary gives readers a hero
they'll relate to, and root for, in this comical and inspiring novel
about Henry Huggins's mission to prove himself worthy of his very own
paper route.
All the older kids work their own paper route, but because Henry is not
eleven yet, Mr. Capper won't let him. Desperate to change his mind,
Henry tries everything he can think of to show he's mature and
responsible enough for the job. From offering free kittens to new
subscribers, to hauling hundreds of pounds of old newspapers for his
school's paper drive, there's nothing Henry won't try.
But it might just be the irrepressible Ramona Quimby who shows Mr.
Capper just how capable Henry is.
The Henry Huggins books have been beloved touchstone classics for
generations. They're funny and fast reads with appealing illustrations,
sure to be welcomed by both eager and reluctant readers.
