More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Stylishly plotted and full of social comedy... Younger readers are too rarely offered treats of this calibre." Editor's Choice, Books for Keeps"
Product Description
A witty and thoughtful title in the fabulous new Sprinters series relaunch, by a consistently acclaimed writer of fiction for children. Hugo has to choose who to stay with while his mother's having a baby. Granny? Uncle Jack? Mrs Mariposa next door? Who will care for him - and his dog Henry - the best? He decides to draw up a list of five questions to ask each in turn and put a tick or a cross depending on the answer. Then all he'll have to do is add up the ticks and the choice will be obvious. But, of course, that's not how it turns out, for only Granny is able to take Henry so, even though she scores worst (she alone sees what Hugo's up to and refuses to play along), she ends up being the chosen temporary guardian. And Hugo has a much better time than the results of his questionnaire had led him to believe he would!

A book to read over and over again,
This review is from: Care of Henry (Sprinters) (Paperback)
I came across the book through my mum getting it from the local library for me as I had to write an evaluation of a fiction book that you'd read and enjoyed. I immediately got into the book and read it about 5 times and therefore decided to purchase it. The reason why i loved this particular book was because it has a lovely moral to the story - to follow your heart, and I believe that children will love this story as much, if not more than I did. The accompanying illustrations by Paul Howard support the text brilliantly. A book to read over and over again...I love it! Compliments to Anne Fine, another well-written, enjoyable book.
