Henry Thomas appears to be an ordinary second-grader at Roosevelt Elementary School. Actually, he is a superhero who receives his strength from eating healthy foods. At lunchtime, he trades his sweets for the things the other kids don’t want to eat like broccoli and carrots. One day Henry’s classmate, Terry whispered in Henry’s ear that his finger was stuck up his nose. Henry tells him not to worry; he will tell Heroic Hank to meet Terry after school. Heroic Hank shrinks himself down and enters Terry’s nose. Hank has quite an adventure in Booger Town where he falls into a booger swamp and comes across a wall of boogers. When Henry punches through and breaks the wall, he angers the Mayor who has the finger imprisoned in the town jail. Will Hank be able to convince the Mayor to release Terry’s finger? Can he escape from Booger Town? The illustrations are creative and colorful. I read the Kindle edition in which the size of the text was small even when enlarged to full page. This would make the book difficult for beginning readers or children with disabilities to read. I looked at the preview of the print edition where the text appeared sharper. This book is targeted for preschoolers through age ten. I believe readers in grades three to five will enjoy the humor. Younger readers will get the gist of the story and its lesson through the illustrations.
