Horrible Harriet lived at school. She had a nest, high up in the roof. She was very helpful in class, but the other kids thought she was mean and nasty, cruel and wicked!In this hilarious sequel to Horrible Harriet, Harriet is back, with a new friend - Mr Chicken.The fact that Mr Chicken terrorises the entire school doesn't matter a jot, as Horrible Harriet knows how to handle him and thereby becomes popular at last ... for the afternoon, at least.
Not quite sure why I don't get the Horrible Harriet books but I really don't. Harriet is a very unusual, large, noisy, horrible girl who lives at the top of her school and eats bizarre things like octopus pie, and dishes with too many eyes in them. Here Horrible Harriet ""makes"" a new friend- by creating him in the kitchen, in the way of Frankenstein. Her new friend is a cartoon chicken carcass with a face who behaves in a rather bad way. How is Harriet going to control him?
