Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-3?Once again, Horrible Harry and the rest of the gang from Room 2B provide beginning chapter-book readers with an engaging story. Harry is determined to explore the newly designated suspension room, which he dubs "the dungeon." An opportunity presents itself when classmate Song Lee inadvertently ignores the teacher's instructions concerning a class butterfly project. Harry takes the blame, and his plan to get suspended is put into motion. When things go awry, it's up to his friend Doug, who narrates the tale, to save him from a horrible disaster. The humorous conclusion complements the book's more serious themes, such as loyalty and responsibility. Kline's characters are likable, yet realistic second graders. The combination of actual school experiences and comic elements of plot and characterization makes this title a worthy addition to previous titles.?Carol Fazioli, Cardinal Hayes Library, Manhattan College,

From Booklist

Gr. 2^-3. The delicate and the gross work together nicely in Miss Mackle's 2B classroom, where butterflies hatch in a giant net cage and where Horrible Harry sees himself as the tough guy in a melodrama. There's a new discipline teacher with an earring in his EYEBROW: Will he punish Harry in the "dungeon" room in the basement? Fans of Song Lee, Harry, and Doug will enjoy the latest simple chapter book about school matters that loom large and surprise you. Hazel Rochman --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

My second grade son loved this book. He was riveted by the plot and liked the science and math references. Now I'm going to find more Horrible Harry books.

This review is from: Horrible Harry and the Dungeon (Paperback)

Horrible Harry and the Dungeon is a story that gives a realistic view of young children. In this story Harry, like most children his age, lets his imagination run wild. The principal has instituted a detention room for children who do not follow the rules. Harry and his buddy have decided that the detention room must be a dungeon. When presented with an opportunity to visit the dungeoun Harry can't resist. Horrible Harry allows the reader to follow as Harry learns a valuable lesson and has a change of heart. This is a great story for young children who will be able to relate to all the characters in Room B.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Horrible Harry and the Dungeon (Paperback)

The story is about Harry trying to find out what is in Mr.Skooghammer's big black bag. I really admired this book because it was intense until it revealed the secret and because I really like Horrible Harry books. I recommend this book to people who like books that don't give the secret up until the end.
