Final Horrid Henry title in the series revealed!

The next Horrid Henry storybook will be called Horrid Henry’s Hannibal Curse and will be available in July 2015. This will be the last ever Horrid Henry storybook, but Francesca promises that Henry will be going out with a bang and not a whimper!

I love the stories in the final book, and it’s not as if the books will vanish from bookshelves because I’m not adding to the collection. Horrid Henry has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years, and I’ve loved being able to write about the imp inside us all. He means the world to me and always will.

Francesca will be appearing at several bookshop events and festivals this summer. Keep checking our events page for the latest information.
