💥 About the Book
Believing that "tough guys don't get mad," Harold tries to bottle up his frustration until it erupts at the worst possible moment.
Harold Mitchell is ten years old and convinced that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. So, he shoves down his anger, annoyance, and embarrassment until he is a walking pressure cooker—and he explodes right in the middle of a school play.
This is the story of what happens when you ignore your feelings, and the hilarious, messy reality of learning how to let off steam before you blow your top.
