About This Passage
This passage will teach the writer how Suzy Kline can make a 'horrible' kid still be likable. Notice that Harry's horrible things are usually NOT mean — they are just strange, imaginative, or a little gross. Good writers know the difference between a kid who is bad and a kid who is just bold.
Open Chapter 1 of Horrible Harry in Room 2B. Find the sentence where Harry does something horrible — but also a little bit funny. Choose 1-2 sentences that show what Harry is really like.
