Megamonster: the mega laugh-out-loud children’s book by multi-million bestselling author David Walliams

Product Information

Join Larker on her hilarious, action-packed adventure to a volcanic island in the middle of shark-invested waters in this spine-tingling, rip-roaring audiobook.

The way in which the characters learn as they go through strange yet entertaining situations is thrilling for readers. All of the kids except ‘larker’ get turned in to monsters, one was a slug, one was an amoeba, one was a jellyfish and so on. The plot was somewhat entertaining, but there was just nothing underneath it, and I think that’s what I found the most disappointing. This book certainly adds some excitement to reading and might engage even the most reluctant of reluctant readers.The plot rushes too quickly with no chance to build any character relationships, or to feel any empathy. This magical story of bravery will convince little girls that courage does not differentiate gender. The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting and the teachers are terrifying – especially the mysterious Science teacher, Doctor Doktur.

When Larker is sent to the school for pulling a prank, she quickly realises something very odd is going on . Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Overall, I think three stars is a realistic review - it’s fine, and children would find it entertaining, but if you are looking for a new classic, I would look eslewhere.Larker is a girl who got sent to Cruel School when a teacher picked on her and wrongly accused her of violating school rules. I prefer his books that have a more tangled story such as The ice monster, The Beast of Buckingham Palace, even Code Name Bananas but maybe because I like the history element being thrown into them. Larker now has to battle the Megamonster, there is no way out but Larker is resourceful and she can get out of anything but can she achieve the impossible and escape The Cruel School.

Whatever one can do, she will most likely do it better, simpler and quicker once she puts her mind to it.
