Andy's First Middle Grade Book

Released in the US by Delacorte Press in 2015 (and Israel the following year), Henry Hubble's Book of Troubles is the sketchbook journal of an aspiring cartoonist, poet, and quirky journalist who is also a perpetual disaster magnet. This book takes the boy diary genre to a whole other level. At least that's what the critics said...

"Henry’s peppy narrative features amusing digressions and commentary—and occasional potty humor—further enlivened by “Henry’s” interspersed drawings and droll verse, in an entertaining, fastpaced read." Booklist

"Readers will have much to gain when nothing goes right for Henry Harrison Hubble in this laugh-out-loud journal style account of his sixth grade life. Readers [will] giggle and commiserate with [Henry's] comically chaotic existence."
