Pretty much everyone likes ‘cute’—and Marcel the Shell has cute in bucketfuls. He’s funny too - and has an interesting perspective on life. He’s happy with who is he but still has things he wants to do. All of which makes him relatable but hilarious for kids.

It's a pretty great book that can make you laugh out loud and still leave you with some deeper thoughts to ponder on. I AM HENRY FINCH is just that sort of book. Henry Finch follows the everyday flow of life until ... he doesn't. And that makes all the difference.
