Horrid Henry's Evil Enemies (Horrid Henry Compilation) [Paperback]

Francesca Simon (Author)

Book Description

Series: Horrid Henry Compilation | Publication Date: July 5, 2007

Ten brilliant stories about Horrid Henry's evil enemies - Moody Margaret, Sour Susan, Stuck-Up Steve, Bossy Bill, Perfect Peter and Rabid Rebecca the Bogey Babysitter, to name just a few - and how he schemes to outwit them, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Alongside these much-loved and laughed-over stories there is lots of new material, such as Horrid Henry's Top Secret Plan to Rule the World, Rules for a Secret Club, a Wanted poster, an exchange of rude notes between Henry and Moody Margaret, diagrams, battle-plans and recipes for Glop. With many pictures in colour, including some new ones, this is a treat for all Horrid Henry fans, just as funny and inventive as HORRID HENRY'S BIG BAD BOOK and HORRID HENRY'S WICKED WAYS.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Despite his nasty nature, Henry is a beguiling hero who has entranced millions of reluctant readers... Little rebels will love this collection and even little angels will be secretly thrilled by Henry's anti-heroic behaviour.' -- Vanessa Curtis, THE HERALD

'one of today's best children's writers... Henry is a cheeky and horrible boy, but the pranks he gets up to will have young readers laughing out loud.' -- WOMEN'S WEEKLY

'If you've had it with glittery fairy books, give them a tast of something a bit slimier and more raucous: Francesca Simon's Horrid Henry is a mischievous little boy who always says the wrong thing, but just about manages to be lovable.' -- SUNDAY EXPRESS --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
