Description

Harold is a uniquely humorous and deeply profound novel that follows the thoughts of a 1960s third grader during a single day at school. From the outside, Harold appears to be an average seven-year-old boy growing up in the 1960s, but his mind is a complex and unusual place.

As Harold navigates his daily routine, his thoughts come to him in the form of birds flying through a small rectangle in the middle of his brain. He visits an outdoor cafe on the moon, is invited aboard a spaceship by Carl Sagan, and envisions his own funeral procession. This novel documents the meandering, surreal, and often hilarious stream-of-consciousness ruminations of the title character during a single day in class.

With its witticisms and profundities, Harold will change the way you perceive your daily existence. As one of its memorable lines puts it, "Everything doesn't have to make sense. Just look at the world and your life."
