DescriptionFour more stories about everyone's favourite awful child, Horrid Henry.

He finds out where the X is going to be on the map in the school treasure hunt, and finally makes a memorable appearance as a TV star. This second "Horrid Henry" audio is read, like Horrid Henry's Nits, by Miranda Richardson (Queen Elizabeth in Blackadder ), who brings every character to life in her versatile reading. The stories have sound effects and specially written music.
