Horrid Henry is up to his usual antics, stirring chaos wherever he goes. From rewriting his brother's diary to scheming for new sneakers, Henry's mischief knows no bounds. But when his nemesis, Bossy Bill, reappears at school, and a crucial soccer match looms, Henry must outwit his foes, including the formidable Moody Margaret. Can he turn the tide in his favor, or will his plans backfire spectacularly? Dive into four hilarious tales of Henry's relentless quest for victory and mischief.
