Een humoristisch jeugdverhaal vol karikaturen, met veel woordgrapjes en dubbelzinnigheden die zowel fysiek als verbaal worden uitgebeeld.

This book certainly adds some excitement to reading and might engage even the most reluctant of reluctant readers. 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? Overall, I think three stars is a realistic review - it’s fine, and children would find it entertaining, but if you are looking for a new classic, I would look eslewhere.

The lessons are appalling, the school dinners are revolting and the teachers are terrifying – especially the mysterious Science teacher, Doctor Doktur.This book had everything one expects from a David Walliams book; a fantastic story, wonderful characters, and a great message for young readers. All of the kids except ‘larker’ get turned in to monsters, one was a slug, one was an amoeba, one was a jellyfish and so on.

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 way in which the characters learn as they go through strange yet entertaining situations is thrilling for readers. It's a fast paced book and the illustrations within the pages help flesh out the story in the readers minds eye. 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.
