Description

Another deliciously squirmy story about Harry the Poisonous Centipede, with all of Lynne Reid Bankss usual charm and humour. Tony Rosss wonderful illustrations perfectly capture the small world of Harry.
Suddenly the most awful thing happened. Something tightened around Harrys middle! He almost jumped into the air with fright

When Harry the poisonous centipedes best friend, George, goes missing, Harry goes to find him. But dangerous things lurk outside his nest-tunnel, like flying swoopers, belly crawlers, furry biters and most terrifying of all Hoo-Mins!
