Horrible Harry says goodbye in the 30th anniversary finale of a beloved series! The last day of third grade is approaching fast, but a farewell to Room 3B isn''t the only goodbye Doug has to say this year. Song Lee and Mary are busy preparing an end-of-year present for their favorite teacher, Mrs. Flaubert, but their excitement can''t distract Doug from Harry''s suspicious silence. When Harry finally admits that his family is moving to a whole other town, Doug can''t believe his ears. How will he survive fourth grade without his best friend?! But Harry has a more pressing question: who''s that moving in to the empty house across the street from him? And what could these new neighbors mean for their friendship?

When his friend Doug is infested with head lice and Mary convinces everyone to stay away, Harry and his other friend Song Lee stand by Doug and declare war on the bugs.

A story about appreciating and preserving the environment in your own backyard. Doug thought he knew everything about his best friend, Harry . . . until he discovers that Harry has a secret hideout in the woods just outside of South School.Unfortunately, Harry can’t keep his hideout a secret much longer, because the land is going to be sold and turned into a big apartment building—unless he and the rest of the kids in Room 3B can save it. Harry has the idea to turn the lot into a nature center, and his friends want to help after he shows them the beautiful wildflowers, yellow spotted salamanders, and slimy tadpoles. But can Harry persuade the school board to agree, too? Or will his horrible fear come true: losing his hideout forever?

When the diamond on Miss Mackle’s engagement ring disappears, the kids in Room 3B are determined to help her find it—especially Harry. The third grade talent show is coming up, and he wants to show off his skills as South School’s greatest detective. Meanwhile, Doug has no idea what to do for his act. He can’t sing like Dexter, or dance like Ida, or solve mysteries like Harry. Now the best friends have to find both Doug’s talent and the teacher’s diamond, or else the talent show will be a horrible disaster for everyone!

Will the best artist win? The art teacher asks the students of Room 3B to draw posters of things they love, and one of them will get to display his or her artwork on South School's brand-new TV show. Harry doesn't care about the contest. Mary, on the other hand, is convinced that her poster is the best, and she can't wait for her television debut. But if Mary's poster doesn't get selected, then she's going to make horrible trouble for Room 3B--especially Harry!

Another uproarious caper in the Horrible Harry series, and this time Harry's not the one breaking the rules! Everyone in Room 3B knows that if Miss Mackle sees you playing with toys at your desk, she'll confiscate them for her June Box. So when a substitute teacher catches good girl Song Lee with a pink origami pig, into the June Box it goes. The problem is that this origami was to be a birthday present for Song Lee's grandmother. So Song Lee does the unthinkable: she breaks into the June Box to free her pig. Now Harry, Doug, and the rest of the kids have to work together--before they all wind up in horrible trouble!

A special Valentine''s Day card helps third-grader Harry overcome his fear of climbing the rope in gym class.

Horrible Harry has always loved insects, especially digging in the dirt for them. And, recently, he's discovered a new favorite: earwigs! But when he tries to tell his friends about these critters, only Song Lee listens. So when Miss Mackle assigns groups in Room 3B to act out different fairy tales, Harry sees an opportunity to teach the class about his favorite bug. Will they think his play is hilarious...or horrible?

Horrible Harry has caused a lot of trouble at school before, but he''s never caused trouble like this. When Sid ruins an origami animal Song Lee made, Harry defends her by declaring triple revenge! No one knows when, where, or how, but Harry is going to get Sid back. Will it be on pajama day, when the kids wear their nightclothes to school? Will it happen in Room 3B? Or will Harry''s ultimate revenge mean Sid is the only one not invited to Harry''s ninth birthday party?

Harry and Doug investigate when special bookmarks begin to disappear while their class is busy studying poetry and running their own post office.
