Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans

By John Loren

Book Overview

Hugo Sprouts is a fantastic tale about a boy frustrated with being small. Luckily,
Hugo P. Sprouts is a mad scientist and determined to find a solution...

In his
lab, Hugo develops a potion and finally becomes the biggest kid in town--but also the biggest jerk around. Hugo has great power, but will he learn responsibility before it's too
late?
John Loren's rhyming,
invention-gone-wrong picture book is a silly, fun read-aloud full of heart. This
madcap tale of a whiz-kid was partly inspired
by the struggle of good and evil in Stevenson's classic Jekyll and Hyde,
with a little scoop of Godzilla for good measure.
Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case
of the Beans is a celebration of curiosity and ingenuity that fans of Andrea Beaty's Rosie Revere, Engineer and Chris Van Dusen's If
I Built a Car will love.
