    About this ebook

    Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 to 5

    Horrid Henry invents a time machine and promises to send his brother, Perfect Peter, to the future (as soon as Peter puts on one of Mom's dresses). But when Peter gets there, it isn't exactly what he had in mind. In fact, everything looks kind of the same… plus three more out-of-this-world funny stories.

    Francesca Simon is one of the world's best-loved children's authors. She is the only American to have ever won the Galaxy Book Award, and her creation, Horrid Henry, is the #1 bestselling chapter book series in the UK—with a hit TV show and over fifteen million copies sold! Each book contains four easy-to-read stories and hilarious illustrations by the one and only Tony Ross, so even the most reluctant of readers won't be able to resist Henry's amazing talent for trouble!

    "Will make you laugh out loud."—Sunday Times

    A global publishing phenomenon with 12 million copies sold!

    HORRID HENRY AND THE MEGA-MEAN TIME MACHINE

    Meet HORRID HENRY the laugh-out-loud worldwide sensation!

    Over 15 million copies sold in 27 countries and counting

    # 1 chapter book series in the UK

    Francesca Simon is the only American author to ever win the Galaxy British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year (past winners include J.K. Rowling, Philip Pullman, and Eoin Colfer).

    "Horrid Henry is a fabulous antihero…a modern comic classic." — Guardian

    "Wonderfully appealing to girls and boys alike, a precious rarity at this age." —Judith Woods, Times

    The best children’s comic writer.

    —Amanda Craig, The Times

    "I love the Horrid Henry books by Francesca Simon. They have lots of funny bits in. And Henry always gets into trouble!" —Mia, age 6, BBC Learning Is Fun

    "My two boys love this book, and I have actually had tears running down my face and had to stop reading because of laughing so hard." —T. Franklin, Parent

    "It’s easy to see why Horrid Henry is the bestselling character for five- to eight-year-olds." — Liverpool Echo

    "Francesca Simon’s truly horrific little boy is a monstrously enjoyable creation. Parents love them because Henry makes their own little darlings seem like angels." — Guardian Children’s Books Supplement

    "I have tried out the Horrid Henry books with groups of children as a parent, as a babysitter, and as a teacher. Children love to either hear them read aloud or to read them themselves." —Danielle Hall, Teacher

    "A flicker of recognition must pass through most teachers and parents when they read Horrid Henry. There’s a tiny bit of him in all of us." —Nancy Astee, Child Education

    "As a teacher…it’s great to get a series of books my class loves. They go mad for Horrid Henry." —A teacher

    "Henry is a beguiling hero who has entranced millions of reluctant readers." — Herald

    An absolutely fantastic series and surely a winner with all children. Long live Francesca Simon and her brilliant books! More, more please!

    A parent

    "Laugh-out-loud reading for both adults and children alike." —A parent

    "Horrid Henry certainly lives up to his name, and his antics are everything you hope your own child will avoid—which is precisely why younger children so enjoy these tales." — Independent on Sunday

    "Henry might be unbelievably naughty, totally wicked, and utterly horrid, but he is frequently credited with converting the most reluctant readers into enthusiastic ones…superb in its simplicity." — Liverpool Echo

    Will make you laugh out loud.

    — Sunday Times

    Parents reading them aloud may be consoled to discover that Henry can always be relied upon to behave worse than any of their own offspring. — Independent

    "What is brilliant about the books is that Henry never does anything that is subversive. She creates an aura of supreme naughtiness (of which children are in awe) but points out that he operates within
