The way in which the characters learn as they go through strange yet entertaining situations is thrilling for readers. I certainly loved reading it, it reminded me of the books I read growing up (I used to love reading Roald Dahl). But only David can make a plot so horrific and eerie into a kids book and make it sound cute and adorable. The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting and the teachers are terrifying - especially the mysterious Science teacher Doctor Doktur.We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners. He took up swimming in his youth because he was overweight, and has subsequently completed long distance swims of the English Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar and the River Thames, raising millions of pounds for charity! When Larker is sent to the school, she quickly realises that VERY odd things are going on involving sinister Science teacher Doctor Doktur, a secret cave and a 'Monsterfication Machine'. It's a fast paced book and the illustrations within the pages help flesh out the story in the readers minds eye. Only downside to it is that it has a lot of different characters to keep up with/remember who's who but, honestly, this just gave me an excuse to do even more daft voices for each person!

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). It had funny, cheesy jokes in that the children reading the book will understand and the storyline is fasted paced and engaging. The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting and the teachers are terrifying – especially the mysterious Science teacher, Doctor Doktur. He has gone on to take the children’s literary world by storm, dominating sales charts and twice winning the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year.A girl who likes telling jokes goes to a school for extremely bad kids, the school is on an active volcano and I’m not sure how the book got published, as there is so much child abuse and so much illegal stuff. She kept asking sensible questions like why a girl climbing up a drainpipe was suddenly on the ground, how a child who hadn’t eaten in days could stay up night after night without getting tired, or why she was suddenly best friends with a boy she met briefly at one breakfast? Here, you meet the weirdest characters caught in bizarre situations which are curiously entertaining.

The plot was somewhat entertaining, but there was just nothing underneath it, and I think that’s what I found the most disappointing. The stories themselves are always well thought out and spark the imagination, and David Walliams does create unique characters and brings each of them to life.My last book haul comprised of illustrated books in varied genres and I couldn't resist adding the latest offering from David Walliams to the selection.

David's books have now exceeded 100 non-consecutive weeks at children's number one, and have been translated into 53 languages, selling more than 35 million copies worldwide. Megamonster is an action-packed page-turning adventure, set on an island in the middle of shark-infested waters – where the Cruel School stands on top of a dormant volcano. Young readers get to read a wonderful book that is a little bit rude, a whole lot of fun, and totally addictive. 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. Larker is a girl who got sent to Cruel School when a teacher picked on her and wrongly accused her of violating school rules.The way the illustrations perfectly capture the story and add an awesome visual layer to this book makes for an unforgettable reading experience. A lot of children will probably still get enjoyment out of this, but it isn’t David Walliams at his best.
