Another triumph from the modern Dahl. Comedy, Tragedy, Love & Laughs. Any 8-12 year old would be very lucky to unwrap this book for Christmas xx

Now generally with long ass chases I’m bored , and in that case I highly recommend the audiobook for all the sounds. It worked quite well for that , the physical copy was a hot mess with all the different fonts and sound effects.
But overall love their bond.
Also there’s some queer rep in here !
My tier ranking of the author books so far :
THE BOY IN THE DRESS, MIDNIGHT GANG , GRANDPA’S GREAT ESCAPE , MR.STINK , AWFUL AUNTIE , BAD DAD >
RATBURGER >
DEMON DENTIST, ICE MONSTER >
BILLIONAIRE BOY > SLIME

I loved this book like I always love David Walliams books! They always make me laugh at time aswell as make me have a soft spot for the characters😩. I loved the storyline and I was very surprised to see this type of story line in a child’s book but I’m glad he did because some parts are part of real life. All in all I would highly recommend this book especially if you want a quick read the it funny and exciting at the same time.
It was very emotional at time that made me wanna blubber, I know I am a softy. I have become so attached to the characters that I feel sad to put the book down but I LOVED IT . And I LOVE DAVID WALLIAMS FOR WRITING IT!!!!!!!!
