Harry the Poisonous Centipede's Big Adventure: Another Story to Make You Squirm

180 pp. | HarperCollins | March, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-06-029139-7 $$14.95 | Library ISBN 0-06-029394-2 $$14.89
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tony Ross. When Harry ventures out to look for his mother and his friend George, he is captured by a "Hoo Min" boy and imprisoned in a jar, alongside George and several other bugs. The centipedes' serendipitous escape and their subsequent adventures make for an action-packed story. Although the author's frequent interjections quickly become annoying, young readers will forgive the interruptions and cheer on the intrepid characters.
