Scary Hairy Book Cover


Scary Harry 


Two juniors in high school, Ethan and Ryder, were tasked to write a children’s book for their English III Honors final. After turning in their project, their book was sent to the lower grades and even to the school board. Their book received overwhelming love and support from all who read it. So much so, that a school board member offered to buy the idea off of the two students. Thoroughly encouraged, Ethan and Ryder decided to get their book published. To date, the two young authors have been featured in the local newspaper and have gotten a write-up from larger social media presences such as Unfiltered with Kiran. From this process, a new found love of book writing and story telling was born.

Scary Harry is about a boy named Harry who is just like any other kid, but because of his appearance, he is shunned by others. The rejection that Harry faces causes him to search for a way to change for the world. But in reality, it’s the world that needs a change.
