Harry the Poisonous Centipede: A Story to Make You Squirm

Product Information

As we begin the story, we meet main character Harry, his mother Belinda, and his best friend George (who doesn’t have a mother but sometimes borrows Belinda). Harry and George have many adventures together, but there are some places they aren’t supposed to go, like the No-Top world where there are fierce creatures like Hairy Biters and Flying Swoopers. But the scariest creatures of all are the r two-legged Hoo-Mins! and never crossing the line into giving a lesson. I really enjoyed the story finding the it exciting for the intended audience, fun and the characters lovable. Which is quite a feat since centipedes give me the willies just looking at pictures of them! Tony Ross' illustrations are plentiful and equally darling to match the text, making Harry an unforgettable character in children's literature.

The titles on this list, which started in 2009, all by British authors, are a unique selection for North American readers, though a few international classics are included. Lynne Reid Banks is mostly known in NA for her Indian in the Cupboard series. I had heard of this book but never actually seen it. When Harry and a George find a strange object full of those yellow-curve tree-droppings, and they are taken and carried far beyond the shores of their tropical home. In their containment, they meet a female centipede named Josie, who is a no-meat eater (which Harry and George think is very uncentipedish) who knows a lot about those huge, strange creatures called Hoo-Mins. And then when they’re finally in the no-top world again, they’re in for a rude awakening.

For the final time we get to see into the lives of Harry and George and encounter their last recorded adventure. This time we are in a whole new place, farther away from their nest than ever.
