Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans

Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans Synopsis

Hugo Sprouts is a fantastic tale about a boy frustrated with being small. Luckily, Hugo P. Sprouts is a mad scientist and determined to find a solution... In his lab, Hugo develops a potion and finally becomes the biggest kid in town—but also the biggest jerk around. Hugo has great power, but will he learn responsibility before it’s too late?  John Loren's rhyming, invention-gone-wrong picture book is a silly, fun read-aloud full of heart. This madcap tale of a whiz-kid was partly inspired by the struggle of good and evil in Stevenson’s classic Jekyll and Hyde, with a little scoop of Godzilla for good measure. Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans is a celebration of curiosity and ingenuity that fans of Andrea Beaty’s Rosie Revere, Engineer and Chris Van Dusen’s If I Built a Car will love.
