Horrible Harry is acting stranger than ever. He keeps talking about purple people, even though he's the only one who can see them. It is the last week of school, and everyone is restless, but Harry has finally gone too far. When a classmate makes some purple figures with paper and glue, Harry knows she is making fun of him. With fists clenched, Harry promises to show her one of the real purple people. But his best friend, Doug, thinks Harry is heading for big trouble. Young readers will love this colorful adventure featuring Horrible Harry and the other students in Room 2B. They'll be laughing out loud as Johnny Heller's narration captures Harry's determination and all the energy of the lively second grade class.
