Review

Comedian Nazeem Hussain brings us his first children’s book, and it certainly doesn't disappoint—and he has teamed up with the super-creative Heath McKenzie, whose illustrations will delight!


This is the story of Harry the Hyena, who lives at The Pits. Harry just loves to prank everyone, and laugh at the misfortune of others resulting from his pranks. He really thinks he should move up in the world, and would love to live on the Mane lands. But that is the home of the Lions, including Larry, who he has known since they were cubs. And everyone knows that Lions and Hyenas are not a good mix!


But when one of Harry’s pranks on his aunty goes too far, Harry decides to go out on his own—freedom is what awaits him. But is being away from his family as good as he thinks? And why is Larry out away from his family too?


This is a very funny illustrated story, with many puns and plays on words, that all primary aged students will thoroughly enjoy.
With other titles expected to follow in this series, it is sure to be a big hit!
