Is Henry as horrid as ever? You bet, and in the latest collection of stories he manages to keep up his reputation as enfant terrible. His fans will not be disappointed at his latest antics, which include getting extra treats on Halloween night, scaring off a babysitter who looks as if she has him beaten (if she only but knew!), skirmishes with a rival gang, and making a car journey into the sort of occasion when his parents could be justified in practising road rage on him. Ross's illustrations only serve to emphasise the horribleness of Henry even more. You have been warned.
