Horrid Henry Early Reader: Horrid Henry Gets Rich Quick Award-winning author by Francesca Simon (author)

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.”

   This book is very good for early readers and especially if you like Horrid Henry. This action-packed book makes you laugh, smile and makes you think that you can relate to the situation. I recommend this book for ages 5-9

    This is a very good and funny book but I think it is more for younger children, the font is quite big so I would say from the age of 3-9 would be the ages I recommend it too but very good read!
