Reviewer: Sam F. '12

Henry Green is a boy who is obsessed with chocolate. He has chocolate for every meal of the day, even snacks. This kid loves chocolate! One day Henry starts off with his normal routine of chocolate for breakfast. Then he starts to feel strange. He notices he has brown spots all over him. So, his mom rushes him to the doctor. The doctor says he is the only kid in the world to have a case of the chocolate fever. They ask what that is. But, you will have to read the book to find out what chocolate fever is, and how Henry will try to get rid of the spots.

I recommend this book to people who love chocolate and fantasies. I liked this book because I love chocolate, although I don’t have it for every meal!

Chocolate Fever is a fictional story about a boy named Henry Green. He loves chocolate and he eats it at every meal. But one day Henry comes down with a disease called "Chocolate Fever." You'll be surprised by what the brown bumps are that are all over his body! Why does Henry run away from the hospital?

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate it a 9. I think it is a little confusing when Henry runs away.

One of the books I read this summer was Chocolate Fever. I really like this book because it has a really good theme ( CHOCOLATE ) , every kid in the world probably loves chocolate and then to read a book about chocolate makes it really fun and interesting.  I also like this book because at the end of the book a man tells Henry how to cure  his chocolate fever and says to Henry what is the opposite of chocolate and every body knows that the opposite of chocolate is vanilla and the man gives Henry vanilla pills to help him cure chocolate fever. I think that part is really funny.

I would recommend this book to kids who are chocolate lovers.

I read the book Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith. Henry Green loves chocolate! He eats chocolate everything -- pancakes with chocolate syrup, chocolate sandwiches and more! Then at school Henry starts to break out in brown spots that start to multiply and get bigger! The school nurse rushes Henry to the hospital and meets his Mom there. Dr. Fargo, the hospital doctor discovers that it is a new disease called chocolate fever. Henry hates getting pinched and poked so many times, so he runs away from the hospital. He decides that he can't go back home, or back to the hospital so he decides to go far away where no one knows who he or his family is. Henry runs into a few problems along the way.

 

Will Henry ever return home? Will he ever see his family again? To find out more read the book!
