i enjoyed it

It is a fiction book. I liked Harry because he is adventurous and interesting. I really liked the bit where he had to go up the up-pipe because he had no choice if he wanted to survive.

This book is really good. It represent how it might feels to live as a centipede well and comes with enough twists and turns to make it tense we it needs to be. All in all, you should definitely pick up this book if you like thrillers from a different point of view.

The story is about 3 centipedes ,Harry,George and Harry's mother,Belinda. One day some smoke came in the holes and they ran out of the holes to where hoo-mins (humans) Belinda sacrificed herself for the young centis(young centipedes). They accidentally went to a hoo-min's house but luckily escaped. So this whole book was about the house of hoo-mins and the centis escaping it.

This book was amazing and funny. My favourite character was Harry because he saved his mom with the aid of his friend George. I also enjoyed learning the Centipede language which was hilarious and I am also impressed that centipedes can run super fast. I would recommend this book to all my friends because he teaches you about friendship, being brave and helping each other. Thank you
