🔍 About the Book

Harold struggles with a deep sense of inadequacy as he tries to figure out what he is actually "good at" when everyone else seems to have a defined talent.

Harold Mitchell is thirteen years old and convinced he is entirely average. While his friends excel at sports, art, and coding, Harold bounces from one disastrous hobby to the next, trying desperately to find "his thing."

This is the story of what happens when you compare your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel, and the hilarious, messy reality of discovering your own unique strengths.
