Harry the poisonous centipede
Illustrated by Tony Ross
As an aficionado of Lynne Reid Banks I looked forward to reading 'Harry' enormously. I wasn't disappointed. Loathing creepy crawlies I could enjoy from a safe distance Harry and George's antics without the fear that that they might crawl up my sleeve or, perish the thought, into my mouth. Ugh! I loved the way we were allowed to empathise with Harry whose adolescent activities tell us more about ourselves than perhaps we want to know. Superb, good quality material for newly confident readers.
