Horrid Henry Early Reader: Moody Margaret's Makeover: Book 20

Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to young fiction.

Anything Moody Margaret can do, Horrid Henry can do better. So when Margaret starts giving her friends makeovers, Henry decides to steal - no, borrow! - her idea. He is sure he can do it much, much better. It can't be that hard to make people look really fantastic... can it?
