Customer Reviews

Bizarre, but engaging tale

Not your average children's book, this strange story of a hypochondriac who saves the day, is well-written and engaging. For anyone who has felt a little different from their peers, this story will strike home. The amusement park scenes are particularly humorous.

Excellent, antic book about hypochondriac boy

Johnny Germ Head is a rollicking, well-illustrated book. The author has done a fine job capturing the phobias and obsessions of children. Our hero is forced to confront his fears when called upon by dangerous circumstances. I look forward to more from this author.
