Horrid Henry's class go for swimming lessons at the local swimming pool. Henry, unfortunately, isn't good at swimming, so he is not at all pleased to go. Later, at the pool, he decides to play a horrid trick on all the good swimmers, by telling them there's a shark in the pool.
You won't believe what Horrid Henry will do next! Henry will do anything to win the grand prize at this year's talent show...even wake the dead! Plus three other stories that will leave you screaming for more.
A stinkbomb becomes a deadly weapon in Horrid Henry's long-running war with Moody Margaret; he uses all his guile to win the school reading competition, only to find the longed-for prize is not what he expected; he goes for a sleepover and retreats in horror when he finds that other people's houses aren't always as nice as his own; and he has the joy of seeing Miss Battle-Axe ticked off by the Head when he knows it was all his fault. In short, another vintage HORRID HENRY title!
