Horrid Henry: Horrid Henry and the Bogey Babysitter Award-winning team by Francesca Simon (author) and Tony Ross (illustrator)

Hallowe’en! Oh happy, happy day! Every year Henry could not believe it: an entire day devoted to stuffing your face with sweets and playing horrid tricks … Whoopee! Horrid Henry was armed and ready.

Henry has great fun playing some hideous Halloween pranks and causing havoc on a killer car trip! But things are not quite so merry when he comes face to face with a brutal babysitter. Is she about to get the better of him? Could it be that our tiny terror is going to be tamed at last?

Author/Illustrator

Francesca Simon

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: "I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti."
