Horrible Harriet is one in a million And maybe that's one too many.


Horrible Harriet lives in a nest in the roof of the school. All the other children are scared of her. But when Athol Egghead arrives in a hot-air balloon, she finds her first friend in this energetic, unique picture book about appearances, friendships, and people not being what they seem.
