Horrid Henry Early Reader: Horrid Henry's Car Journey Award-winning 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.”

   I think that this book is funny because Horrid Henry and Peter puke on Mum and Dad! I won’t tell you any more in case I spoil it for you! All I’ll say is that Francesca Simmons is a very talented author!

   My favourite part of the book was when they all stopped at the service station for a rest and to go to the toilet and henry locked himself in and pretended to be trapped inside, unfortuanately he had locked himself inside a toilet with a gap underneath! I also liked the good twist at the end… But you will have to read the book to find out!

   I also enjoyed the fact that I could read the whole book in 1 evening as a bedtime story as I could not put it down, iit was so good!

   I rate this book 10/10 because it was the best horrid henry book I have ever read as I could read most of the words rather than getting mum to read most of the words!
