Book Worm Achievement Guide
The Book Worm achievement can be unlocked as early as the second level when Henry is going to school, but it can be unlocked at any point onwards in the game as well. Henry has to read 20 books to unlock the achievement, and there are a lot more than that throughout the game. But, if you are in a rush to get it done, here are the locations of the first 20 books in Henry Halfhead.
To read a book, you just need to become the book and open it; the game’s narrator will handle the rest.
Books 1 – 7
The first books you can read are found during the first level in the sitting room with the armchair. 7 books are sharing the bookshelf with a sound system.

Book 8
The eighth book is in one of the presents Henry gets for his 3rd birthday, which is being celebrated in the kitchen. Grab the scissors out of the drawer below where the presents are waiting.

The one you want is the largest, so cut the ribbon with the scissors and then become the present to open it.

Unfortunately, this present has come from a relative who fancies themselves a bit of a joker, and you are going to have to repeat the gift unwrapping process several times. Eventually, you’ll get your present, a book!

Books 9 – 13
The next 5 books are found on the bookshelf in Henry’s bedroom at the end of the first level.


Books 14 & 15
Two books are found in the yellow and green lockers at the start of the second level, when Henry goes to school.


Books 16 – 19
Four more books are placed in or on the low cupboard with a globe on it.

Book 20
The last book you need can be found in the teacher’s desk.

With the 20th book read, the Book Worm achievement will pop! If you missed a book, no need to worry. There are plenty of books to be found in the rest of the game.
