Book Description

Harry the poisonous centipede and his friend, George, are captured by the dreaded Hoo-Mins. How on earth can they escape from their hard-air prisons? Glass jars are too hard to climb, they’re too slippery, and the holes in the top are small. But when the Not-So-Big-Hoo-Min’s Mother accidentally knocks over two glass jars that happen to be holding a scorpion and a tarantula, all hell breaks loose… Harry and George seize the opportunity to escape – but just as they make for home, they are dived on by the biggest ‘flying-swooper’ they’ve ever seen and dumped in the ocean… how will they survive? This is just the start of Harry’s adventures as he encounters the marine centipedes who turn out to be very unpleasant little creatures indeed!


About the Author

LYNNE REID BANKS was born in London in 1929, the only child of a Scottish doctor and an Irish actress.

Her education before World War II included two years in a Catholic convent. When war came, Lynne was evacuated to the Canadian prairies. On her return to London in 1945 she studied for the stage, and after five years in Repertory spent several years as a freelance journalist and playwright. She joined ITN as the first British woman TV news reporter in 1955, remaining there until 1962. Her first novel, the ground-breaking, post-war, feminist novel THE L-SHAPED ROOM, was published in 1960, and made into a film the following year.

In 1962 Lynne emigrated to Israel, where she met Liverpool-born sculptor Chaim Stephenson, whom she later married. Altogether she spent nearly nine years living in a kibbutz in Galilee, where their three sons were born. She describes these years as perhaps the most fulfilling of her life, all her previous careers proving useful to her new one as a teacher.

In 1971 she returned to England with her family. For fourteen years they lived in London, and Lynne wrote full-time, producing books and plays, short stories and articles. In 1985 Lynne and her husband moved to the country, in Dorset, keeping a small house in London, so as not to be ‘out of the swim’.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Bug-style rebellion, Sep 25 2002
Par Alyssa A. Lappen (Earth) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This sequel about Harry (actually, Hxzltl, in Centipedish) and his friend George again takes the bugs out from down-under (ground, that is), into the forbidden Up-Pipe and the world of the HOO-MINS.

Here, the bug boys are caught in hard-air-prisons (jars), meet a tarantula, learn about rain and discover why it's important (sometimes) to listen to grown-ups.

I wasn't at all amused by their antics, but my opinion doesn't count. My 10-year old critter loves Harry and his friend. He likes animals, loves bugs, and adores rebellious characters. More than once, Harry has kept him up at night, reading under the covers. He's plowed through this book three times in the last month.

Perfect for second, third or fourth grade readers who prefer illustrated chapter books, the 180-page further adventures of a many-footed mischief-maker will delight kids of the same spirit. Alyssa A. Lappen
