Product Description
by Beverly Cleary (Author), Louis Darling (Illustrator)
This special edition of Henry and the Clubhouse features the original illustrations by Louis Darling--the first artist to ever render Henry, Ribsy, Ramona, and Beezus--as well as a foreword written by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka.
Fiery Ramona Quimby and the well-meaning Henry Huggins may clash, but in this delightful and hilariously told novel by Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, an unlikely compromise wins the day.
Henry and his friends are building a no-girls-allowed clubhouse. With a private space of their own away from everyone else--and even a top-secret entry password--they're all thrilled with their boy fort.
But Henry's about to find out that nothing--not even a sign--will keep gutsy Ramona out of their clubhouse...and her retaliation may just ruin Henry's newspaper career.

Louis Darling was the very first illustrator to give the world of Beverly Cleary a face. His renderings of the Klickitat Street adventures became a gateway to imagination and the joy of reading for generations of children. Now, more than fifty years later, his illustrations once again grace the pages of classic stories by Beverly Cleary. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka, Henry and the Clubhouse will be enjoyed by a whole new generation of readers!
Now that Henry Huggins finally has a paper route, he doesn't have much free time with his friends. Which makes the building of a boys-only clubhouse all the more important! With a top secret password for entry and an old stuffed owl keeping watch, Henry and his pals are thrilled with their private space.
But Henry soon realizes that even a No Girls Allowed sign won't keep out neighborhood pest Ramona Quimby--and once Ramona gets mad, she just might cause the end of Henry's newspaper career.
