Horrid Henry Rocks

Horrid Henry Rocks ‘Boys, I have a very special treat for you, ' said Mum, beaming. Horrid Henry looked up from his Mutant Max comic. Perfect Peter looked up from his spelling homework. A treat? A special treat? A very special treat? Maybe Mum and Dad were finally appreciating him. Maybe they'd got tickets . . . maybe they'd actually got tickets . . . Horrid Henry's heart leapt. Could it be possible that at last, at long last, he'd get to go to a Killer Boy Rats concert?

‘We're going to the Daffy and her Dancing Daisies show! ’said Mum. ‘I got the last four tickets. ' ‘OOOOOOHHHH, ’said Peter, clapping his hands. ‘Yippee! I love Daffy. ’ What?? NOOOooooOOOO! That wasn't a treat. That was torture. A treat would be a day at the Frosty Freeze Ice Cream Factory. A treat would be no school. A treat would be all he could eat at Gobble and Go. ‘I don't want to see that stupid Daffy, said Horrid Henry. ‘I want to see the Killer Boy Rats. ’ ‘No way, ’ said Mum. ‘I don't like the Killer Boy Rats, ’shuddered Peter. ‘Too scary. ’ ‘Me neither, ' shuddered Mum. ‘Too loud. ' ‘Me neither, ' shuddered Dad. ‘Too shouty. ’

‘NOOOOOOOO! ’screamed Henry. ‘But Henry, 'said Peter, ‘everyone loves Daffy. ’ ‘Not me, ’ snarled Henry. Perfect Peter waved a leaflet. ‘Daffy's going to be the greatest show ever. Read this. ' Daffy sings and dances her way across the stage and into your heart. Your chance to sing-along to all your favourite daisy songs! I'm a Lazy Daisy. Whoops-a-Daisy. And of course, Upsy-Daisy, Crazy Daisy, Prance and Dance-a-Daisy. With special guest star Busy Lizzie! ! ! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH.

Moody Margaret's parents were taking her to the Killer Boy Rats concert. Rude Ralph was going to the Killer Boy Rats concert. Even Anxious Andrew was going, and he didn't even like them. Stuck-Up Steve had been bragging for months that he was going and would be sitting in a special box. It was so unfair. No one was a bigger Rats fan than Horrid Henry. Henry had all their albums: Killer Boy Rats Attack-Tack-Tack, Killer Boy Rats Splat! Killer Boy Rats Manic Panic. ‘It's not fair! ’screamed Horrid Henry. ‘I want to see the Killers! ! ! ! '

‘We have to see something that everyone in the family will like, ’ said Mum. ‘Peter's too young for the Killer Boy Rats but we can all enjoy Daffy. ’ ‘Not me! ’screamed Henry. Oh, why did he have such a stupid nappy baby for a brother? Younger brothers should be banned. They just wrecked everything. When he was King Henry the Horrible, all younger brothers would be arrested and dumped in a volcano. In fact, why wait? Horrid Henry pounced. He was a fiery god scooping up a human sacrifice and hurling him into the volcano's molten depths.
