Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Caitlin

After years of waiting for his destiny to show up, Henry Potty is finally accepted into Chickenfeet Academy, an American school for gizzards and whiches that proudly flaunts its third-rate status. Henry, equipped with his fan club, a blinding conscience and an unshakable belief that his own star-of-book-status will save the day, goes head to head with his archnemesis Lord Revolting, who has a strange affinity for garbage. Frankel weaves a tale which instead of following the Harry Potter saga religiously, cheerfully plunges readers into new territory, as we are introduced to Henrys fairy godmother, a sport where players snatch fishes out of a river, and the little red-haired girl, a member of Henrys fan club who he constantly pines for. Frankel doesnt so much break the fourth wall as she obliterates it with a barrage of Unforgivable Curses. Looking for something to tide you over until Book 7? This book is for you. Hate the Potter craze and want Rowling to die a painful, horrible death?
This book is also for you.
