I know how hooked kids get on the Horrid Henry books and I love their enthusiasm!' she says. 'But even Horrid Henry fans need to OCCASIONALLY read something else, and I know they would also adore Steven Butler's The Nothing To See Here Hotel, about a secret holiday resort for magical creatures. 'Henry fans will love the riotous humour, fantastic characters, and spiralling madness as the hotel copes with the arrival of the guest from hell, a goblin prince with a dark secret.

This was truly a harrowing tale of nigh-biblical proportions. Simon honestly grapples with the idea of redemption and to what extent a person is able to forgive. With echoes to genesis, her modern interpretation of the bible tale is far more fitting for a contemporary audience of today, not to mention the metaphor of the feminine God found in the Mother character of the two children. She was all loving, yet all powerful and fair. With so many brilliantly funny Horrid Henrystories out there, it's easy for children to get hooked.

Margaret often annoys Henry, while Henry torments Margaret by performing horrid deeds. They might deal with things, but they are still enemies. Despite the conflicts between Henry and Margaret, they seem to temporarily strike up as alliances, like in " Horrid Henry's Horrid Revenge", and on many occasions, they have been married or engaged in Henry's dreams. Dit is een erg leuk (voor)leesboek voor jongere kinderen. Hendrik is volgens de volwassenen in het boek erg stout maar eigenlijk is het een gewoon jongetje dat niet altijd even goed begrepen wordt. Zijn broer perfecte Peter is het tegenovergestelde in karakter en doet alles braaf zoals de volwassenen het willen. Eigenlijk best saai. Hendrik reageert zoals elke jongen zou reageren op bepaalde wensen van volwassenen. Balletles is gewoon niet leuk en schreeuwen en stampen is dat soms wel! Toch zijn zijn grapjes niet altijd even aardig. Hij krijgt het voor elkaar zijn perfecte broer vreselijk in de problemen te krijgen door het geluid van de tv keihard te zetten en de wekker van zijn broer een uur vooruit te draaien zodat iedereen zich te pletter schrikt als Peter zijn favoriete tv serie veel te vroeg in de ochtend aanzet... Horrid Henry is a mischievous troublemaker who has a few anger management issues and is a little bit over-exhilarant, with features of arrogance too. He is a bad-tempered, hot headed kid with a smart mouth. He's also extremely skeptical of authority, or just anything that kids stereotypically hate, such as school, but he's also a trendy kid who's always in on the latest trends. Due to his mischievous behaviour, he's disliked by most of his teachers. Henry is known to be horrid, but by Series 2, he had become nicer, and by series 3, he has become quite popular.

After all, if that goes down well, there are 39 books in the series! The book 'Horrid Henry' is a collection of four short stories which focus on the daily events of the classic anti-hero protagonist, Horrid Henry. A man who's very identity is described even before his name is given to us. He is not the only character to be named with an overly-simplified, alliterated characteristic; brothers, arch-nemeses and friends alike are all named like this: Perfect Peter, Moody Margaret, Rude Ralph etc. Truly, from names alone we understand that simplified identity will be the core difficulty our protagonist will have to face in his oncoming misadventures. All throughout the night, Peter tempts Henry, aiming to spark the fires of his once great and cavernous furnace of anger but the pit is empty. Henry does not respond. Instead he holds peace to his brother, trying to show him he is a changed man, but Peter does not believe him. No, he cannot. For in Peter's eyes only Peter is Perfect, and if one is Perfect there must be another who is horrible.

This is an outrageously funny series featuring the most quirky, eccentric characters that are bound to delight children who love gloriously silly details and horrible baddies,' she said. 'Hilariously illustrated, they really are marvellous, madcap adventures.' Your suggestions
