Herby's Secret Formula

This is an award-winning adventure story about a budding scientist, who is also an avid Boy Scout.

Concerned about world overpopulation, Herby Strange hopes to make more room for all the people and animals by developing a formula to shrink living things. In doing so, he accidentally shrinks himself and winds up six inches tall. Through a series of harrowing experiences, Herby finds himself miles from home, alone in a mountain wilderness teeming with wild animals and other dangers. He had set out to save the world, but now must try to save himself. His only chance for survival lies in his own ingenuity and the skills he learned in Boy Scouts.
