Henry Green was a boy who loved chocolate. He liked it bitter, sweet, dark, light, and daily; for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks; in cakes, candy bars, milk, and every other form you could possibly imagine. Henry probably loved chocolate more than any boy in the history of the world. One day—it started off like any other day—Henry found that strange things were happening to him. First he made medical history with the only case of Chocolate Fever ever. Then he found himself caught up in a wild and hilarious chase, climaxed by a very unusual hijacking!

An Excerpt from Chocolate Fever
Can you imagine a boy having a chocolate-bar sandwich as an after-school snack? Well, Henry did, just about every day. And when he ate mashed potatoes, just a few drops of chocolate syrup swished through seemed to make them taste a lot better. Chocolate sprinkles sprinkled on top of plain buttered noodles were tasty, too. Not to mention a light dusting of cocoa on things like canned peaches, pears, and applesauce.
In the Greens' kitchen pantry there was always a giant supply of chocolate cookies, chocolate cakes, chocolate pies, and chocolate candies of every kind. There was ice cream, too. Chocolate, of course, and chocolate nut, chocolate fudge, chocolate marshmallow, chocolate swirl, and especially chocolate almond crunch. And all of it was just for Henry.
If there was one thing you could say about Henry it was that he surely did love chocolate. "Probably more than any boy in the history of the world," his mother said.
"How does Henry like his chocolate?" Daddy Green would sometimes joke.
"Why, he likes it bitter, sweet, light, dark, and daily." And it was true. Up until the day we're talking about right now.

"It's all quite preposterous and lots of laughs, and so are the cartoon illustrations."
