Description

Horrid Henry encounters the babysitter from hell, traumatizes his parents on a car journey, goes trick or treating at Hallowe'en, and invades Moody Margaret's Secret Club. Four stories, as brilliant and inventive as ever, to add to 'the funniest series ever written about sibling rivalry and what it's like to be a young child' (THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)

Reviews

Praise for Horrid Henry: "Francesca Simon's Horrid Henry is the last boy on earth you'd ever fancy, though he's utterly irresistable and weirdly familiar." The Independent on Sunday "Francesca Simon has become a master of slapstick humour with her ever popular Horrid Henry series. Children love the subversive nature and the sneekiness of the eponymous 'hero'." Birmingham Post "Long may this dreadful boy continue to terrorise all who know him. He's a nightmare, but so entertaining." Parents Guide "The four stories in this book are laugh aloud funny. ... I can't help feeling that Francesca Simon had as much fun researching these stories as she gives to her young readers" Carousel
