Quick Summary
Horrid Henry's wild money-making schemes, like trying to sell his little brother at a yard sale, are so outlandishly ridiculous that readers can't help but burst out laughing. Each short story zooms through hilariously chaotic plans, surprise twists, and Henry's unstoppable scheming, making it impossible to stop turning the pages.
