There wasn't anything original here, now for the kids who are new to this kinda adventures, I suspect they'll have a blast, sadly I found this the weakest of his books, would I chance another tale from this funny, charming comedian? I read this book because I have read a lot of books from the same author in the past so that is why I chose this book. My last book haul comprised of illustrated books in varied genres and I couldn't resist adding the latest offering from David Walliams to the selection. 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.When Larker is sent to the school for pulling a prank, she quickly realises something very odd is going on . Only downside to it is that it has a lot of different characters to keep up with/remember who's who but, honestly, this just gave me an excuse to do even more daft voices for each person!
