Praise for Horrid Henry Wakes The Dead: Book 18
-
'Awesomely Horrid Henry really is horrid!' - THE OLDIE
-
'Horrid Henry was a major influence when I was creating my character Ugenia Lavender. If they were in the same story Henry would be Ugenia's nemesis... He is such an outrageous, out-there character who behaves like a mini adult with a sore head. This books is so funny - it's filled with jokes and dares' - Geri Halliwell, THE MIRROR
-
'Horrid Henry certainly lives up to his name, and his antics are everything you hope your own child will avoid - which is precisely why younger children so enjoy these tales' - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
-
'Outrageously funny and endlessly inventive' - JEWISH CHRONICLE
