Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb Published 2002

"My wonderful editor Judith Elliott suggested the title to me, so I made up a story to match."

A stinkbomb becomes a deadly weapon in Horrid Henry's longrunning 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!
