Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb by Francesca Simon
A stinkbomb becomes a deadly weapon in Horrid Henry's long-running war with Moody Margaret; he uses all his guile to win the school reading competition, only to find the longed-for prize is not what he expected; he goes for a sleepover and retreats in horror when he finds that other people's houses aren't always as nice as his own; and he has the joy of seeing Miss Battle-Axe ticked off by the Head when he knows it was all his fault. In short, another vintage HORRID HENRY title! Read by Miranda Richardson
A grand example of how an audio production can take a pretty great book into the 'fabulous' category.. A cool update of the Just William series, this is a superb performance, along with musical interludes and sound effects that keep everyone entertained. THE GUARDIAN 40 BEST AUDIOBOOKS
