Henry Bins only gets one hour a day. This week, he's going to make it count
Step into the world of 14-year-old Henry Bins as he navigates his teenage years in the neon-soaked landscape of 1994, where pagers beep, dial-up internet whirs, and grunge music reigns supreme
Henry Bins has a rare sleep disorder where he's only awake for sixty minutes a day, from 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. His meticulously regimented life-three minutes to shower, five minutes to eat, seventeen minutes of school, four minutes to play Zelda-is turned upside down when his dad leaves for a week-long cruise.
Just days into his newfound freedom, Henry's carefully structured hour explodes into adventure after a chance encounter with the audacious and beautiful Alice leads to the discovery of an abandoned puppy and a suspicious puppy mill.
As they team up to care for the mischievous pup, Trout, and work to shut down the cruel operation, Henry and Alice stumble upon a web of secrets involving her father-the principal of the local high school-and a shady new technology company. With each precious minute ticking away, they find themselves entangled in a high-stakes game of corruption, daring escapes, and a first crush that makes Henry's heart race faster than his limited time.
With the help of Alice's best friend Nicole and her brother Greg-or "Cipher" as the teenage hacker insists on being called-they embark on a mission to expose the truth before time runs out.
Full of heart-pounding adventure, first love, late-night daring, unbreakable friendship, and '90s nostalgia, Teen Henry 1994 is a hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age mystery that is a bold reminder that sixty minutes is all it takes to change everything.
