HORRIBLE HARRY AND THE DUNGEON

In yet another excellent story in Kline's popular series, the children at South School are finding the month of June--only weeks from summer vacation--to be a challenge. The principal creates a suspension room, complete with a scary supervisor named Mr. Skooghammer, and Horrible Harry--of course--ends up there. Once again, Johnny Heller is terrific at voicing the lives and moral dilemmas of children. Although Heller is clearly an adult reader, one quickly forgets this as he takes command of the child characters, vividly capturing their school life and conveying all its drama through his enthusiastic pacing and skillful recreations of the tones and exuberance of children's voices.
