By far the most interesting aspect of this book was the authors weird name.
Bongers?
Is that a real name?
Well lets agree it is
I reckon at some point she must have been called Old Bonkers Bongers
Old Bonky Bongy Bonkers Bongers
anyway the book itself - meh
But that name!

It’s amazing the difference reading a book set somewhere familiar to you can make to the reading experience! I actually knew what the characters were talking about and it was such a relief to actually be on the same page as them!

I love this book, it's quick, familiar and full of nostalgia.
I'm sick at the moment and don't seem to be able to stick to one book and this made me feel soo much better. Henry Hoey Hobson is set in the city I live in, this is a very rare occurrence. I love that about this book because I can picture, really well, what places are meant to look like, unlike most novels which are set in the US or the UK. Some of the novel actually takes place just down the road from where I live so that's super cool.
I read Henry Hoey Hobson when the year it came out. I read it once and then I read it nonstop for a month or two, I went slightly crazy. I haven't had the chance to read it since and that's okay because there are a lot of books waiting out there for me to read, so maybe it's a good thing I was in a bit of a slump.
I love this book now and I loved it when I was younger, it's a great book for people of all ages.

What a fun book! You'll love 12 yr. old Henry Hoey Hobson... he's such a deep thinker. Hillarious story about a boy who doesn't fit in finally finding a place where he does. Lots of feel-good messages mixed in the pot as well.

I don't understand why I haven't already said something about this book. I think it's because it was a judging book for me.
Anyhoo, I loved it.
Still think about it.
