“The naughty children used to come back from THE CRUEL SCHOOL when they weren’t naughty any more,” replied the wicked teacher. “But now no one ever leaves...”

Another great Walliams book!
I bought this for my 10 year old's birthday, this is my son's favourite author and we already have all of his other books. David Walliams has managed to reach out to children who are hesitant to read for enjoyment and makes them fall in love with reading! We introduced David Walliams books a couple of years ago to our son as a way to encourage him to read more and it worked a treat. This is another great laugh out loud book that keeps children engaged. Lovely illustrations throughout and funny story. We can't wait for the next Walliams book!

OJO: Solo se trata del CD... te hace pensar que es el libro físico también... un engaño.

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.
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’. 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…
It has been a while since Walliams wrote a story about a girl with wit as sharp as a smooth edge of paper, a delightful sense of humour, and courage that fails at nothing. (... other than sharks?)
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.
I always marvel at how Tony Ross manages to bring his illustrations to life in black and white. I don't know about you but the way he plays with the greys on his palette makes them so incredibly detailed. And the text layout and font styling is the cherry on top.
This magical story of bravery will convince little girls that courage does not differentiate gender. Whatever one can do, she will most likely do it better, simpler and quicker once she puts her mind to it.

If you are reading this to kids, might need some interpretation of English idioms and slang
