Based on the kid's novel
Based on the 1972 children's chapter book of the same name by Robert Kimmel Smith. Henry Green is an 8-year-old boy who loves all things chocolate (milk, semisweet, white, dark). For breakfast, he'll eat chocolate chip waffles with chocolate syrup, double chocolate cookies as a side dish, maybe chocolate-dipped strawberries, and chocolate milk. His older sister and father consider it weird, but his mother loves him enough to give him all the chocolate he wants. One day in school, Henry's skin suddenly breaks out in dark hives. It looks like chicken pox, only the spots are brown and they smell like chocolate. The school nurse couldn't figure it out, so she called a doctor and an examiner confirms the spots are MADE of chocolate. Some scientists hear through the grapevine and consider it a money-making discovery. After learning that he'll be going through painful experiments rather than being given a cure, he runs away. He can't go home and he can't stay in town. Luckily, a friendly truck driver named Mac picks him up from the road and offers to help find the cure.
