Henry and the Paper Route

Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary gives readers a hero they'll relate to and root for in this comical and inspiring novel about Henry Huggins's mission to prove himself worthy of his very own paper route. Despite not being eleven yet and thus being denied a paper route by Mr. Capper, Henry tries everything he can think of to demonstrate his maturity and responsibility. His efforts range from offering free kittens to new subscribers to hauling hundreds of pounds of old newspapers for his school's paper drive. In the end, it may be the irrepressible Ramona Quimby who convinces Mr. Capper of Henry's capabilities.
