Synopsis

Shortlisted for The British Book Awards 2022 Children's Fiction Book of the Year

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…

I buy for my grandson who just loves David Walliams books. I new he hadn't got this one so treated him to it. He loved it so much and couldn't put it down.
