Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom

A Book Report By ...

I am writing a review of the book Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom. This book is one in a series of horrible Harry books. This one happens to be an adventure of sorts. It is also filled with action and funny at times too.

Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom is a book that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, but it is written to be read by kids from ages seven to eleven. People who like action and adventure are sure the like this book. I will tell you a little about this book.

Harry, the main character, and his friends finish their second grade year by going to an amusement Park. Harry is dared by his enemy, Sidney, to ride a new ride called The Drop of Doom. This story tells about Harry s struggle to overcome his fears. It talks about the importance of friendship and the power of peer pressure. It certainly discusses many issues kids this age face now.

I give this book a high recommendation. It is sure to hold your attention until the very end. I give Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom two thumbs up

Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom by Suzy Kline is a good book. The main characters are Harry and Song Lee. It starts out when Sidney dares Harry to try the Drop of Doom, an amusement park ride. Harry realizes that it's an elevator ride and Harry hates elevators! Next the children go to Song Lee's house for a party. They go to an amusement park for fun. First they went to the haunted house. The ride stopped and a ghost popped out in their face. Then it blacked out, the ride turned on and they got out safely. The next ride was the Drop of Doom! Finally, Harry gets on with Song Lee. It starts going up and up. The elevator door opened up to show the whole amusement park. Then the door closed! Song Lee squeezed Harry's hand, and then AHHHH the Drop of Doom dropped fast down. Harry made it. I highly recommend Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom by Suzy Kline. By reading this book Harry will teach you two valuable lessons. First, always face your fears no matter how scary they are. Second, never forget that your friends are there to help you.

The story Horrible Harry and the Drop Of Doom is about a boy named Harry and it is the end of the school year. A girl in his class named Song Lee gives them red envolopes. The red envolopes have a invetation in it. It is for a day in a amusment park.

I liked this book because it has great details and it is good for young readers.

When Harry and Doug came in they saw a envelopes on their desks. They were from Song Lee. She was inviting them to a park with rides. And there was this ride called the Drop Of Doom! It was scary to Harry. I am not going to tell you what happend because you have to read it and find out yourself. By Darbi

My second grade son loves Horrible Harry. And as the mother of this reluctant reader, I was thrilled when he found this series. He has read every one our school library has and is now looking for more. (Which is why I am here at Amazon!) He's enjoyed every one he's read, though Drop of Doom is probably his favorite. Hats off to Suzy Kline!

We enjoyed Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom by Suzy Kline. We liked the characters and the adventures in the park. We liked learning about the 3 Korean dishes pulgogi, kalbi, and kimchi. We also enjoyed how Horrible Harry faced his fear and rode the drop of doom.

A charming story of some very believable second graders and a trip to a theme park with a scary ride. When harry is afraid to ride it, Song Lee and Doug, the narrator, help to give their friend some courage. Meanwhile, another boy is making fun of him and a little girl wants nothing to do with him. The story shows how we all have fears that the support of our friends can help us to overcome. The characters do not have much time to develop, but are very real. Song Lee and her mother are Korean. Their dialogue is written with their accent to show diversity. This is a good book for middle second-graders and above to get used to the style of chapter books. Chapters are less than ten pages, with large type and always an illustration.

Why 4 stars?:
The bully character can get a little out of hand. I would have expected someone to step in and not let him torment Harry as much. Still, this is a good book that will serve as a good introduction to chapter books. The nice part about this series is a reader can start anywhere without missing too much.

Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom is a pretty good book. I like the part when Harry rode the Drop of Doom. "I'm going again!" Harry said. It would have been better if it was a longer book.

My 8 yr old book lover has some reading issues, which continue to need some work. This book was a big hit for her, had it all: cool, mystery, fun, adventure, a variety of characters. It even has an Asian character and I found this diversity to be a great addition for my daughter also Asian. I don't think she cared a bit! Yet it's an affirmation of who she is. Ain't that great? Thank you Suzy Kline!! Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom

Great book and series of books for the younger reader in the family. Also a great way to get that younger person interested in reading.
