What else can go wrong for Henry? Can Chocolate Fever be cured? Will Henry learn to control his chocolate obsession?īorn in Brooklyn, New York, Robert Kimmel Smith was 8 years old when he read his first book-a book that moved him enough to make him cry. He was picked up by a kind truck driver who was hijacked just as he convinced Henry to call home. The school nurse took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with "Chocolate Fever." Henry felt afraid, and he ran away. One morning he broke out in large, brown, chocolate-smelling spots. His parents loved and indulged him even his older sister and brother were good to him. Henry Green loved chocolate so much that he ate it at every meal-in the regular ways, like chocolate cookies, chocolate cake (even for breakfast), and chocolate milk, and in unusual ways, like chocolate syrup on mashed potatoes, chocolate sprinkles on buttered noodles, and cocoa on fruit.
