👑 About the Book

Put in charge of a school project, Harold's bossiness backfires spectacularly, leaving him to learn that real leaders serve their team.

Harold Mitchell is eleven years old and finally in charge. But he quickly confuses "leading" with "dictating," and his grand vision for the ultimate class presentation leads to a full-scale rebellion by his best friends.

This is the story of what happens when power goes to your head, and the hilarious, humbling reality of learning that you can't be a leader if no one wants to follow you.
