Chocolate Mania..

Chocolate Fever is the perfect chapter book
to devour right after Halloween.
Picture
     Main character Henry eats lots and lots of chocolate and the result is one sick, sad kid. This quick moving story has twist and turns and several different story themes that can pave the way for some great heart-to-heart conversations. (Themes include: favorite foods, not overdoing things, how it feels to be different than those around you, family relationships, and facing difficult conversations.)  Be warned: in the story climax, two ‘bad guys’ hijack a truck by pointing guns at Henry and the driver. That might be scary for some young readers – although the laughable characters and plot sequence keeps the focus on the action and less on the true danger. Overall, I recommend this book as a good read-aloud for post-tricky-or-treating, elementary school-aged kids.
