Another deliciously squirmy story about Harry the Poisonous Centipede, with all of Lynne Reid Banks's usual charm and humour.
Tony Ross's wonderful illustrations perfectly capture the small world of Harry.
`Suddenly the most awful thing happened.
Something tightened around Harry's middle! He almost jumped into the air with fright.
' When Harry the poisonous centipede's best friend, George, goes missing, Harry goes to find him.
But dangerous things lurk outside his nest-tunnel, like flying swoopers, belly crawlers, furry biters and - most terrifying of all - Hoo-Mins!.
