Harry is a curious, mischievous young centipede who gets himself in all kinds of trouble when he disobeys his mother and makes the forbidden trip up into the dangerous world of "hoo-mins". Harry lives in a dark, damp home. Perfect for a squirmy centipede to stretch out his 42 legs. And Harry is quite happy in his beloved tunnels. Unlike other centipedes his age, he heeds the advice of his mother–never venture into the Up-Pipe and always stay away from the world of Hoo-Mins. But his friend George pressures Harry to join him on an adventure, and when Harry finally succumbs to the temptation of the No-Top World, the results are startling!
