Horrible Harry and the Dungeon

Horrible Harry and the Dungeon is a book about a boy named Harry and his friend Doug. Doug is the main character of this book and Harry is his best friend. In the book it is the end of the school year and the principal announces that behavior is getting bad and that students who don't cooperate and follow rules will have to go to the suspension room which is a basement room with concrete walls and no windows, Harry and Doug refer to it as the dungeon. The teacher that will be in the suspension room is a new teacher named Mr. Skooghammer. He is a hairy, tall man with a piercing on his eyebrow. The students worry about him and his black bag that he carries. Harry wants so badly to figure out what is inside the bag so he follows the teacher into the restroom and sticks his hand slowly into the bag and gets poked and starts to bleed, he runs away quickly when Mr Skooghammer opens the stall door. Harry devises a plan to find out what is inside the bag after he and Doug decide it must be a medieval weapon, since its sharp and bulging, like a mace! But how do Doug and Harry discover what is inside that bag? Or do they?

This book is a fun and interesting book and I would recommend it for anyone to read to their students or children. It was an easy book to read, the font was fairly large and there were pictures to go along with the text as well. It wasn't a very long book which would be good for beginning chapter book readers, and it keeps you wondering what will happen next to Harry. I think that boys would enjoy this book most since its about getting into trouble and trying to be sneaky to find out something mysterious.
