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

Product Information

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. In David's brand new novel Megamonster, heroine Larker discovers something dangerous in the heart of the Cruel School - science teacher's Doctor Doktur's Monsterfication 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. 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?

I don't know about you but the way he plays with the greys on his palette makes them so incredibly detailed. Een humoristisch jeugdverhaal vol karikaturen, met veel woordgrapjes en dubbelzinnigheden die zowel fysiek als verbaal worden uitgebeeld.

I certainly loved reading it, it reminded me of the books I read growing up (I used to love reading Roald Dahl). One of the greatest elements of this book; as with all David Walliams’ books, is that it perfectly walks the naughty line. This story is about a girl that meets like a monster and then they have a lot of adventures together but the problem is that it is lie illegal for her to have the monster because it is dangerous so the story is about the girl and the adventures of the monster but also how she tries the monster to be friends with people so that she can demonstrate that the monster is not dangerous. 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.

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! Whatever one can do, she will most likely do it better, simpler and quicker once she puts her mind to it. His debut children's novel, The Boy in the Dress, was published in 2008 to unanimous critical acclaim and he has since developed a reputation as a natural successor to Roald Dahl. It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. It had funny, cheesy jokes in that the children reading the book will understand and the storyline is fasted paced and engaging.

His tenth novel, BAD DAD, was an immediate number one, following the triumph of THE MIDNIGHT GANG, the biggest-selling children's book of 2016. 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.

There are far too many characters in this book, all given stupid names and very little characterisation. This book certainly adds some excitement to reading and might engage even the most reluctant of reluctant readers. When Larker is sent to the school, she quickly realises something very odd is going on… something involving Doctor Doktur, a pair of strange spectacles, and a ‘Monsterfication Machine’. A lot of children will probably still get enjoyment out of this, but it isn’t David Walliams at his best. I found myself questioning this story when I first started it as I wasn't sure that I would be able to get into it but I was wrong.The first part of the book blew me away, especially the Gabber language classes, but after the introduction of a certain machine, everything started to go awry. But only David can make a plot so horrific and eerie into a kids book and make it sound cute and adorable. Het meisje Larker wordt vanwege haar flauwe grappen en stoute gedrag naar de allerergste school die je maar kan bedenken gestuurd: The Cruel School.
