The Herdman children for all intents and purposes are the town bullies. Considering some of the content I am surprised it is read in this politically correct age. It is a fun read and I can see why my son was so enthralled with it and why it is such a popular book. I gave this book a read over lunch one day at work. And it is available in a combined edition with all three of the Herdman stories in a single volume. This book has also been published under the title The Worst Kids in the World. A quick search showed that there are currently 26 editions of this book in various languages, from various publishers and in a number of different formats, paperback, hardcovers, ebooks, and audio. He literally flipped out when he found out that this book is part of a series. When I found out it was the second book in a trilogy I picked up the three eBooks to give a read and read with him. When we looked it up online so he could find the correct cover to match the edition they were reading in school. They had started reading it in school and he wanted us to read it together. My son came home from the first day in grade four excited about this book.
