As we begin the story, we meet main character Harry, his mother Belinda, and his best friend George (who doesn’t have a mother but sometimes borrows Belinda). Harry and George have many adventures together, but there are some places they aren’t supposed to go, like the No-Top world where there are fierce creatures like Hairy Biters and Flying Swoopers. But the scariest creatures of all are the r two-legged Hoo-Mins! urn:lcp:harrypoisonousce00lynn:epub:b37627cf-6af9-46e7-864e-2528844d3a83 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier harrypoisonousce00lynn Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3st8v07s Isbn 038072734X Moses in Egypt: a novel inspired by the Prince of Egypt and the book of Exodus (1998) LCCN 99-190535 Banks was born in London, the only child of James and Muriel Reid Banks.

Prior to becoming a writer Banks was an actress, and also worked as a television journalist in Britain, one of the first women to do so. Her first novel, The L-Shaped Room, was published in 1960. Harry, his best friend George and his mother Belinda have got to be the only bugs in this world that I would ever call adorable. Banks manages to tell a tale of these centipedes in all their creepy crawly-ness, while at the same time creating characters the reader sympathizes with and roots for. There is one certain scene when I was utterly creeped out at the thought of these slithery insects from a "Hoo-Min" point of view while I was captured in the intense moment for Harry and George and whether they would escape with their lives.

This is the conclusion to the Harry the Poisonous Centipede series, and it was just as good as the other two. For the final time we get to see into the lives of Harry and George and encounter their last recorded adventure. This time we are in a whole new place, farther away from their nest than ever. In 1962, Banks emigrated to Israel, where she taught for eight years on a kibbutz, Yas'ur. In 1965, she married Chaim Stephenson (1926–2016), a sculptor, with whom she had three sons. [5] She lives in Shepperton, Surrey, UK. [6]

and never crossing the line into giving a lesson. I really enjoyed the story finding the it exciting for the intended audience, fun and the characters lovable. Which is quite a feat since centipedes give me the willies just looking at pictures of them! Tony Ross' illustrations are plentiful and equally darling to match the text, making Harry an unforgettable character in children's literature.
