About this deal

I certainly loved reading it, it reminded me of the books I read growing up (I used to love reading Roald Dahl). This book certainly adds some excitement to reading and might engage even the most reluctant of reluctant readers. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments David Walliams books are a great escape (pardon the pun) from the real world. I think this about the 18th book by Mr Walliams that I've read and it is as good as any of the others. It's set in a fantastical world that Walliams is great at inventing and filling with a menagerie of characters.

I am a massive fan of David Walliams’ book so I was very excited to get my hands on this book. Given that I have read all of David Walliams' books I went into this one with high hopes. I am happy to say it definitely lived up to my high expectations. While the story is progressing logically. The incidents turn from normally strange to this is not happening.

Home >Larker is being sent to a new school and not just any school, she is going to attend The Cruel School, situated on a volcanic island amidst sharks there is no way off for Larker or any of the pupils.

On a volcanic island, in the middle of shark-infested waters, stands The Cruel School. The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting, and the teachers are terrifying – especially the mysterious Science teacher Doctor Doktur. Scariest of all, though, is the Science teacher Doctor Doktur, and soon Larker uncovers a sneaky plotconcerning him, some strange spectaclesand a ‘Monsterfication Machine’. Can Larker escapewhen she’s faced with one of his horrifying Megamostercreations? Gulp. His most recent fiction title, The World’s Worst Children, published on 19th May 2016 sold over 340,000 copies in the UK alone. It went straight to No. 1 on release where it stayed for 4 weeks and also concurred Children’s Books charts, where it stayed at No.1 for 7 weeks. Internationally sales continue to thrive, The World’s Worst Children also went straight to No. 1 in the Australian children’s chart and remained there for three consecutive weeks and reached the No. 1 in the overall book chart in New Zealand. That is also when the fun begins. How are the students able to find out the secret of the school and not only survive it? It is a fun read. David Walliams said "My son came up with the title for me. We kept talking about how great it would be if there was a giant monster made up of all different monsters. I thought this was a wonderful starting point for a story."Here, you meet the weirdest characters caught in bizarre situations which are curiously entertaining. They are annoying, rude, and mean but there is a worthy lesson to be imbibed from the exciting adventure this book takes you on. This is the first David Walliams book I’ve read, and after hearing nothing but praise for his previous books, I was excited to finally give it a go. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. I’m sure kids will enjoy reading it, but I expect a higher standard for quality literature, be it for kis, YA or adults. The same jokes over and over again, as well as some very juvenile humour made it a seem like it’s dragging, and I often found my thoughts wandering off, even though it’s not a long book. The plot was somewhat entertaining, but there was just nothing underneath it, and I think that’s what I found the most disappointing. 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. This book had everything one expects from a David Walliams book; a fantastic story, wonderful characters, and a great message for young readers. All of this is delivered with wit and intelligence that only David Walliams can produce. The way in which the characters learn as they go through strange yet entertaining situations is thrilling for readers. As a brand, The World of David Walliams continues to grow: export sales have increased by 77% year on year with growth in every single market and David’s books are published in over 49 languages.

On a volcanic island, in the middle of shark-infested waters, stands The Cruel School. The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting and the teachers are terrifying – especially the mysterious Science teacher Doctor Doktur. This book is a great and fast paced book. It had funny, cheesy jokes in that the children reading the book will understand and the storyline is fasted paced and engaging. This is another mess of a book by David Walliams, there are some good ideas but as a whole it doesn’t really work. Added to all this, David’s books have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim: Awful Auntie, Ratburger and Demon Dentist won the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year and in France David was awarded the popular Tamtam for Mr Stink and the prestigious Le Prix Du Livre De La Jeunesse for Ratburger, so it comes as no surprise that countless broadsheet reviewers have compared David to his all-time hero, Roald Dahl. David Walliams is fast becoming a global phenomenon in the world of children’s literature – his ability to wow fans is unprecedented with global sales over 14.1 million.Me and Minnie both read this dipping in every now and again. It was a slow burner and we spent a lot of time musing why it was called mega monster when we didn’t meet any monsters till three quarters through One of the greatest elements of this book; as with all David Walliams’ books, is that it perfectly walks the naughty line. Young readers get to read a wonderful book that is a little bit rude, a whole lot of fun, and totally addictive. In David Walliams’ new book Megamonster, Larkeris sent to The Cruel Schoolfor pulling a prank, it’s anything but textbook! Not only does it lie on top of a volcanic islandin shark-infestedwaters, but the lessons are appalling, the food is revolting, and the teachers are absolutely terrifying! Little Britain’, which he co-created with Matt Lucas, started on Radio 4 and soon progressed to BBC1. The show has won numerous international awards including three BAFTAs, and now plays in over 100 countries. ‘Little Britain Live’ performed to a million people in the UK, Ireland and Australia. David and Matt followed ‘Little Britain’ with the hugely popular spoof airport documentary series 'Come Fly With Me'.

Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing -Run by the science teacher Doctor Doktur with the aid of her weird spectacles and the Monsterification machine. I know adults may review this in regards to if a child would enjoy it, but I'm reviewing it as an adult reading it. I really enjoyed it and felt engaged throughout the book. Ok, so recalling my reading experience for this book i remembered i had a really mysterious feeling while reading and now I get it why, it's because there are barely any humans like only 2 or 3 humans who talk and rest are monsters or robots.....
