I am a faithful Zindel reader and enjoyed reading this book. Although it is not my favorite book of his, it still is a touching story. Harry and Hortense will leave you smiling as you read this book...

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Harry and Hortense at Hormone High (Library Binding)

I read Harry and Hortense at Hormone High by Paul Zindel. I have read other book by him such as Loch, The Doom Stone, and raptor. I gave it a 3 because it was a little slow, with our much suspense. Most parts are very well described and tell a lot about future events. I recommend this book for people who like a book without a lot of characters and a simple plot.
