Media Reviews
Henry's sharp wit and disregard for authority make him the ideal short-story hero - especially when the subject is school. Plenty of dialogue, large text and fun illustrations make this an energetic read. What's more, it's split neatly into 10 short stories to encourage new readers . Junior Magazine, 1 Feb 05
