Series: Horrible Harry

A Horrible Harry story about appreciating and preserving the environment, even in your own backyard. This 33rd book in the long-running chapter book series is now available in paperback!

An insightful addition to the Horrible Harry series about appreciating and preserving the environment in your own backyard.

Doug thought he knew everything about his best friend, Harry . . . until he discovers that Harry has a secret hideout in the woods just outside of South School. Unfortunately, Harry can't keep his hideout a secret much longer, because the land is going to be sold and turned into a big apartment building-unless he and the rest of the kids in Room 3B can save it. Harry has the idea to turn the lot into a nature center, and his friends want to help after he shows them the beautiful wildflowers, yellow spotted salamanders, and slimy tadpoles. But can Harry persuade the school board to agree, too? Or will his horrible fear come true- losing his hideout forever?

Praise for the Horrible Harry series- ""Room 2B is every child's dream...

This is one school story which rates an A+.""-School Library Journal(Horrible Harry and the Green Slime)

""Another perfect chapter book for transitional readers.""-School Library Journal(Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom)

""Kline has an exceptional talent for capturing the language, humor, and group dynamics of a primary grade classroom... An attractive read for children just beginning to tackle novel length fiction.""-School Library Journal(Song Lee in Room 2B)
