I have recently read
Megamonster by David Walliams.
I really enjoyed this book. I think lots of kids aged 8-adult will thoroughly enjoy this book. Personally I think that it is one of the best David Walliam books ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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. 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 . . . something involving Doctor Doktur, a pair of strange spectacles and a ‘Monsterfication Machine’. And ultimately she finds herself face to face with a real life Megamonster. There seems to be no escape – but for Larker nothing is impossible . . .
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."
Megamonster is an action-packed page-turning adventure from David Walliams, packed with brilliant illustrations by Tony Ross. Megamonster is roaring into stores on 24 June in hardback, ebook and audiobook read by David himself alongside a star-studded cast.
