Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans

Hugo Sprouts is a fantastic tale about a boy frustrated with being small. Luckily, Hugo P. Sprouts is a mad scientist and determined to find a solution...

In his lab, Hugo develops a potion and finally becomes the biggest kid in town—but also the biggest jerk around. Hugo has great power, but will he learn responsibility before it’s too late? 

John Loren's latest action-packed, madcap picture book will make kids and adults laugh out loud. It’s an original idea with plenty of mistakes, bad behavior, and growing up to do on Hugo’s part.

John Loren pitches readers a zany premise, similar to Judi Barrett’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Chris Van Dusen’s If I Built A Car, and runs with it. The illustrations are bold and energetic, a perfect match for the story.
