🎭 About the Book

Harold tries to change his personality, his clothes, and his jokes to fit in with an intimidating new crowd, completely losing himself in the process.

Harold Mitchell is twelve years old and desperate to be considered "cool." In a frantic attempt to reinvent himself, he ditches his real interests and adopts a ridiculous new persona that confuses his friends and exhausts him.

This is the story of what happens when you try to be someone you're not, and the hilarious, deeply embarrassing reality of learning that the best version of you is the real one.
