🏘️ About the Book
Trying to be a local hero, Harold's overzealous "patrols" create more problems for his neighbours, teaching him that true community means listening first.
Harold Mitchell is ten years old and has decided it is his personal duty to keep the street safe. Armed with a notepad and too much enthusiasm, his attempts to "help" end up causing widespread panic, a ruined garden, and a very angry postman.
This is the story of what happens when trying to do good goes terribly wrong, and the hilarious reality of learning what it actually means to be a good neighbour.
