Harry's back again! With another
book to make you squirm! This time he gets captured by a nasty
Not-So-Big Hoo-Min (a.k.a. human). In centipede language they
leave all the vowels out. So Harry's real name is Hxzltl and
George's name is Grnddjl. Harry's mom's name is Bkvlbbchk.
He has a "wonderful" time in the jar that the
Not-So-Big Hoo-Min caught him with. When Harry is in the Hoo-Min's
bedroom he sees his best friend, George, in another jar! Can
they escape from the hard air prison? Can Harry get back to his
mother? Read this squirming book to find out!

Ben F. ’08 The
story Harry the Poisonous Centipede is about an adventure that Harry and his friend
take to the up side world. Since the centipedes live underground the up side world is our
world where the ground is for us. Harry’s mom told him to never go to the up side
world because the homins will squash him. Homins are humans, but in centipede language
there are no vowels except for the letter ‘o’. On their adventure, Harry and his
friend think they are going to die because they might get squashed. They climb the up pipe
and get to the up side world. They climb on a person who is sleeping. They go into his
belly button and start to take a rest. The person awakes and see the centipedes and starts
to hit them with a newspaper.
Do Harry and his friend get home safely? Will his mother ever
see him again? Read the book to find out.
