Henry Cicada's Extraordinary Elktonium Escapade

318 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | January, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-237745-6 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Henry Cicada fails spectacularly at the one thing he most wants: to be ordinary. However, he excels at rescuing three-legged dogs, defending friends against bullies...and traveling via Elktonium (a new metal whose properties are not yet entirely known) into another person's imagination. Whimsical character names, wacky science, a big-hearted protagonist, and a keen sense of (mis)adventure give this story wide appeal.
