Yeeks. Henry as a pageboy. The thought is so awful it makes us break out in hives. He’s offended the Queen. He’s made his teachers cry. So who thought it would be a good idea to let Henry loose on a happy couple’s wedding day? Francesca Simon and Tony Ross, that’s who. And they’ve added in loads of colour pictures to make it even funnier. Brides beware. Being a pageboy in green satin knickerbockers is so not Henry’s style. Ugh. Wormy worm Peter can’t wait, of course. But if Henry is forced to take part, he’ll make it the worst wedding EVER. Make sure you’re on the guest list.

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.”
