The Grand, Genius Summer of Henry Hoobler

Author(s): Lisa Shanahan

Middle Fiction

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? Henry Hoobler is a reluctant adventurer who is worried about his summer vacation camping at the beach: bugs, spiders, snakes, stingers, blue-ringed octopi, or sharks. Worst of all, his family and friends are pushing him to ride his new silver bike--without training wheels. But when Henry meets Cassie, he discovers that courage is there to be found when you have a friend who is straight-up and true.
