🪞 About the Book

Humiliated by his voice cracking and his body changing awkwardly, Harold suffers from the "Spotlight Effect" until he realises everyone is too worried about themselves to judge him.

Harold Mitchell is fifteen years old and convinced the entire world is staring at him. Between sudden growth spurts and a voice that refuses to cooperate, Harold tries to become invisible—which naturally leads to the most visible, awkward disasters imaginable.

This is the story of what happens when you think everyone is judging your awkward phase, and the hilarious, liberating reality of learning to accept the messy process of growing up.
