Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
Henry is up to his usual mischief: annoying his younger brother, ruining Moody Margaret's sleepover, and irritating his teacher, Mrs. Battleaxe--not to mention trying to manipulate his family into seeing his favorite band--the Killer Boy Rats.
"Kids will love reading the laugh-out-loud funny stories about someone whose behavior is even worse than their own." --School Library Journal
"Not since 'Nate the Great' has an early reader series created such a buzz." --Los Angeles Times
"Will engage even the most reluctant readers."
--Publishers Weekly
