Horrid Henry’s Monster Movie Award-winning author by Francesca Simon (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 love Horrid Henry`s Monster Movie, it is a great book, I especially loved Horrid Henry`s Olympics chapter as they had made their own Olymic Games with events like the Sweet Speed-Eating Competition, Crisp Eating Competition, Name Calling and Burp to the Beat and as The Olmyics are on right now it really is a story to read this summer!

   My favourite scene is a scene where Horrid Henry goes paintballing and shoots Stuck-Up Steve and Bossy Bill, that`ll teach them!

   I rate this book 10/10, I love Horrid Henry Books, all fans should read this.

   I loved this new Horrid Henry book. The stories are just as funny and Horrid Henry is still as nasty to Peter.
