Book Summary

In 'Horrible Harry Goes to the Moon,' Harry and his classmates in Room 2B are learning about the solar system. Their teacher, Miss Mackle, assigns a project where each student chooses a planet or moon to research and create a model. Harry, true to his imaginative nature, decides he wants to go to the moon for real. He becomes very secretive about his project, talking about 'moon juice' and a special rocket, which makes his best friend Doug a little worried. On presentation day, Harry reveals an elaborate homemade rocket and drinks his 'moon juice' (which is grape juice), sharing an imaginative story of his trip to the moon. The class and Miss Mackle are impressed by his creativity and dedication.
