What I like most about Terry Deary books is that he doesn't hold back. The English did some stupid things? He will tell you. Did they do absolutely despicable things? He will tell you. He doesn't shy away from the gruesome bits that most history books leave out, and that's why I love the horrible history books! I mean, what's in a name? But how many books have you read where they will tell you what they did with small aboriginal children in Australia? Yeah, I thought so.
This one is just like the others. Funny, interesting, and really accessible. Whenever children ask me about history books, I recommend this series! There's nothing wrong with them, this one does feel a bit too short, but you have to cram A L O T of history in only 200 pages, so it makes sense.
I totally recommend these! :)

Read- July 2o2o for The Reading Rush (Read a book in a genre you've always wanted to read more of)
- This wasn't my favourite book that I've read in this series so far, mainly because of the casual racism against Asian (specifically Korean) people.

Even though I'm about 4-6 years above it's target audience, the Horrible Histories books are still pretty great for a quick, funny and actually educational read. Also I love England to pieces so this was even better.
The books and the show are quite probably the reasons I didn't fail Modern or Ancient History at school.
