発行者による作品情報
Jack Henry has moved to the island of Barbados with his offbeat family and his secret diary. But still he can't escape his penchant for wacky misadventure. Because of a headless chicken, he gets a violent case of blood poisoning. In a pepper-eating contest with his father, he discovers the perils of male bonding. And then he has his heartstrings twanged by an older woman who just happens to be his sister's best friend.
These are just a few of his trials and tribulations in these eight fierce and funny stories, based on the author's own childhood diaries.
This title has Common Core connections.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
These companion stories to the Jack Henry books are "extravagantly imaginative adventures," said PW; they recount the year the seventh-grader's family moves to Barbados. Ages 10-up.
