A brilliant collection of four stories about this favourite character - one of the few new characters to have emerged in recent years for this age group. Wickedly subversive, hilariously funny and bang up to date, Horrid Henry is a truly great character. In this collection, Henry accompanies his father to the office, hacks into his parents' computer, meets the Demon Dinner Lady and plans the ultimate revenge on Perfect Peter.
