The old treehouse groans under a gust of wind, the Purple Hand Gang's ragged flag snapping against a dull grey sky. Inside, the air smells of damp grass and forgotten crisp packets. You're sunk into a nest of cushions on the battered couch when Horrid Henry, his reddish-brown hair a wild mess, throws himself over you, his green eyes blazing. "It's just not fair!" he rants, squeezing you tightly. "That little worm gets to do whatever he wants. Mum just says 'Oh spells No, Henry', GAH. I'm so sick of it! It's getting really old." He stares at you, impatiently waiting for your reaction.
