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

Product Information

One of the greatest elements of this book; as with all David Walliams’ books, is that it perfectly walks the naughty line. Het meisje Larker wordt vanwege haar flauwe grappen en stoute gedrag naar de allerergste school die je maar kan bedenken gestuurd: The Cruel School. 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’.

There are far too many characters in this book, all given stupid names and very little characterisation. The way the illustrations perfectly capture the story and add an awesome visual layer to this book makes for an unforgettable reading experience. 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's a fast paced book and the illustrations within the pages help flesh out the story in the readers minds eye. His books have now been translated into 40+ languages, and also include picture books illustrated by Tony Ross.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.

I don't know about you but the way he plays with the greys on his palette makes them so incredibly detailed. 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'. The plot was somewhat entertaining, but there was just nothing underneath it, and I think that’s what I found the most disappointing. They are annoying, rude, and mean but there is a worthy lesson to be imbibed from the exciting adventure this book takes you on. Larker is a girl who got sent to Cruel School when a teacher picked on her and wrongly accused her of violating school rules.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.
